Greetings in the name of the Lord,

St. Jude’s Seminary is an educational ministry dedicated to equipping and training men and women to respond to God’s call to them either in lay ministry or ordained ministry.

We offer Certificate Programs in areas such as Grief Counseling, Pastoral Counseling, Marriage Counseling, etc. These studies may be completed in a few months. However, you are allowed one year to complete your studies. Degree Programs from Bachelors to Doctorate are available in Ministry and Theology.

The advantage of studying at St. Jude’s is two-fold: the tuition is affordable so individuals led by the Lord will be able to pursue His calling on their lives to follow Him and become “fishers of men”. Secondly, you may study in the privacy of your own home. Therefore, you do not have to leave job or family while studying for ministry.

We invite you to peruse our other pages and at the same time, pray for the Lord’s leading. We are here to assist you in whatever way we are able so that you may respond to God’s call.

Looking forward to hearing from you,


+Howard D. Van Orden
