Visitation events set for prospective students
High school students, college students, second-career men and women welcome
Concordia Seminary, St. Louis has scheduled a variety of on-campus visitation opportunities for prospective students, providing prospective students with valuable information about formation for pastoral and diaconal ministry.
“People who attend an event on our campus, or come for a personal visit, frequently comment, ‘It’s one thing to hear about Concordia Seminary and all that happens here,’” said Director of Ministerial Recruitment and Admissions Rev. Bill Wrede. “It’s quite another thing, and a marvelous thing at that, to come and see not just a place, but meet the people and experience what happens on campus. My visit brought to life what it means to be formed for ministry, especially being able to spend time with the faculty and current students.”
Upcoming visitation events include:
Green & Gold Days (April 6 and Nov. 2): For college students and second-career men and women, Green & Gold Days is an opportunity to spend the day on campus and see what the Seminary has to offer. The day includes meeting with current students and professors, attending classes and chapel, and ending the day with dinner and discussion. The event is free.
