Capital Region Theological Center

The Capital Region Theological Center (CRTC) is an ecumenical educational center serving upstate New York and eastern New England. Over the past decade, CRTC has involved 27 different faith traditions via workshops, courses, conferences, and retreats to enrich people in their spiritual lives. Participants value our courses for the connections, sharing of ideas, and the knowledgeable instructors. We add to the quality of an individual’s faith journey and address issues of social justice, environmental stewardship, and the relationship of religion to life in the 21st century. CRTC also offers continuing education of clergy. Our recent and future course offerings are on our web site. CRTC believes healthy congregations create healthy communities. In conjunction with that belief, we have instituted a Congregational Resourcing program. The purpose is provide informational and expert resources to help congregations and faith-based organizations solve problems. CRTC partners with each congregation on the project. The variety of objectives is as diverse as the congregations. Topics include energy assessment/efficiency for churches, providing best practices to congregations, being good stewards of church assets, and much more.
