ANNUAL LECTURESHIP: Beginning the third Monday in January, the school conducts a four day lectureship on a relevant theme. Since 1975 this lectureship has had the goal of bringing in sound preachers from throughout the brotherhood in order to instruct and encourage our students, area churches, and Christians from throughout the United States and abroad. The lectureship provides our students with excellent opportunities to meet other preachers and exposure to styles of preaching and areas of interest in the preaching field.

STUDENT DAYS: Occasionally during the semester, congregations will request our students to conduct their services on a given Sunday. This provides our students with practical experience and opportunity to make contact with other brethren. Many times these congregations will provide a meal, which often involves cultural cuisine as well as excellent fellowship.

LADIES’ CLASSES: Wives (or future wives) of the men attending school are urged to attend the special classes planned for them. In order for the preacher or elder to do his best work, he must have the wholehearted support of his wife. These informal sessions taught by preacher’s wives offer Biblical instruction, help, and encouragement in understanding and fulfilling her role as the wife of a preacher. We encourage the women to attend as many classes as possible. Note: Because the catalog is published in advance, some dates may change. Ladies not in daily contact with the school should call the office to make sure the dates have not changed.
