Bring a group to campus

If you live close enough, consider bringing a church group to campus and introduce them to seminary life. To schedule a campus tour, call 651-641-3419. Bring a group of high school students to Previews in the spring. This event allows high school students a sneak peek at seminary life and a chance to think about God's callings for their lives.

Highlight current seminary students

Publish the names of your congregation's seminary students in bulletins and newsletters. Include contact information and encourage the congregation to pray for them and keep in contact with them. (Explore ways individuals can help foster leadership.)
