Lay Seminary Modules (2023-2024)
Lay seminary consists of weekly readings, videos, discussions, and occasional journal entries to be shared with one another in the cohort. Cohort discourse occurs 5-5:40pm before Saturday evening services. In addition, there are two benchmark assignments: a mid-course exegesis paper and a final applied ministry project based on the call and vocation of each student.
