Application deadline extended for RUAH 2025-27
Richmond Hill will begin two new sessions of the RUAH School of Spiritual Guidance in September 2025: a weekday cohort (RUAH XXII) and a weekend cohort (RUAH XXIII). The application deadline has been extended to June 9, 2025.
Enrollment in RUAH is open to lay, professional, and clergy persons who might feel called to provide spiritual direction in their church, faith community, or as an adjunct minister at Richmond Hill. The weekday cohort is offered with clergy in mind, though both cohorts are open to all.
Priority consideration will be given to applications received by June 9, 2025, but we will continue to received applications until the program is full.
