Greetings fellow students of Briercrest Seminary!
We are excited about welcoming those of you who are new to our Seminary community, reconnecting with returning students and looking forward to how the Lord will work in our midst this year.
Whether on campus or off, you contribute to and give shape to the Seminary community as you participate in it.
Included below is some helpful information that can guide your participation in the coming weeks. Of particular note is the information on our Welcome and Kick Off below. If you are coming in for the Spiritual Formation class, we would invite you to come a day early and join with us.
First Seminary Chapel: On Thursday September 4th
11:15AM Seminary Chapel, Rm S113
“In seminary chapel, students, faculty and their families set aside time, space and themselves to worship the Triune God. Our gathering reflects the diversity of our educational community, as we worship in ways that creatively value both our differences and our unity as followers of Jesus. As God reveals himself, we often lament, find healing, and respond with thanksgiving and celebration.”
