The Capital Region Theological Center (CRTC)
is a joint effort and ecumenical mission in theological education
among the Formula of Agreement denominations in Upstate New York.
This includes: Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.), Reformed Church in America and the United
Church of Christ, none of which have a seminary within a three-hour
drive of the Capital Region.
We provide a means to offer pastors
and laity the opportunity to strengthen and enhance their spiritual
life, continue learning, discover new resources and visions for
ministry, develop technological skills to assist in ministry, and
to establish and/or maintain networks of colleagues which provide
an invaluable resource to pastoral ministers. We do this through
planning, organizing and facilitating educational courses of varying
topics, styles and formats. We contract with highly qualified instructors,
basing our courses on local needs and interests, ensuring a relevant
and invigorating experience. Since Fall 2001, CRTC has offered theological
courses and events for both laity and clergy with over 1000 occurrences
of participation (some more than once), drawing from 18 denominations.
