Upcoming Events
The Siburt Institute will be on the move this spring at our various events! Check out our upcoming in-person and online events.
Summit: Woven Together
We are excited to announce this year’s theme and date for Summit! This fall we will be back on ACU’s campus Oct. 8-10 to explore the topic Encounter: Spirit of the Living God. As always, we will enjoy devotional times, keynote addresses, and communal meals, in addition to significant time in various ministry communities. In the meantime, recordings are available from last year’s keynote sessions, morning devotionals, and the Old and New Testament General Interest communities. Access all things Summit via the button below.

Selah Certificate
In 2024, we launched our Selah Certificate in Spiritual Direction. If you are interested in the ministry of spiritual formation, we will be starting a new cohort in February 2026. This program is ideal for those looking to develop their skills in spiritual direction and deepen their contemplative life. See more details by clicking on the button below!
Chaplaincy Resources
The Siburt Institute is recognized by the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) as an endorser of chaplains seeking professional certification. We sponsor a Chaplains Fellowship, publish a bi-monthly newsletter, and hold quarterly webinars on various topics related to the ministry of chaplaincy.
