Field Education
During your field education experiences, included in all three years of study, you prepare to bring your ministerial service to a variety of people, places, and circumstances. Dedicated mentors assist you in preparing for the different challenges and drawing the most important lessons from the various settings. Field education seminars help you to integrate your ministry and life experiences with your theological studies.
