The chapel staff invites you to become involved in the seminary’s worship life in whatever ways you are able from being an assisting minister to being a lector, serving communion to singing and playing music, etc.

During Orientation Days, newer students had an opportunity to fill out a Worship Volunteer Form.

But we also want to reach out to returning students, and all staff and faculty. Please share your gifts and leadership with the worshiping community!

So, if you haven’t had a chance yet, here is the very brief form to fill out online: https://forms.gle/snnfh8A37ucSvFhFA

If you are anticipating a Spring Assignment please plan to join Krista Anderson, Region 3 Candidacy & Leadership Manager; Ramie Bakken, Region 5 Candidacy and Leadership Manager; and Ashley Wheeler, Candidacy Coordinator on campus or via zoom for a conversation on approval, the assignment process, and upcoming deadlines.

We will be gathering on Tuesday, October 15th from 6:15 pm-8:00 pm and Wednesday, October 16th from 11:45 am-1:00 pm. You only need to attend one session and a meal will be provided if you are able to join us on campus.
