Portico - Online Learning for Susquehanna Conference Leaders
Learn, Reflect, Lead, Transform
Portico is our online Learning Management System (LMS), designed to support spiritual and leadership development for clergy and laity across the Susquehanna Conference. Through its platform, you can explore courses that equip you for ministry, strengthen congregations, and deepen your personal growth in service to God and community.
What You’ll Find in Portico
- Susquehanna-Specific Courses - Developed to meet the unique needs of our conference leaders.
- Denomination-Wide Offerings - Access courses created by other conferences for additional learning opportunities.
- Flexible Learning - Courses range from short sessions to in-depth training, and new content is added regularly.
- Certification - Most courses offer certificates that count as Contact Hours (10 hours = 1 CEU).
Why Portico?
The name Portico refers to ancient gathering places for teaching and reflection - like Solomon’s Portico in John 10:23 where Jesus taught, and in Acts 3:11 where Peter healed the lame man. Our LMS is a modern gathering place for learning, reflection, and leadership growth.
