Get Help with a Need, Concern, or Crisis

Student Development exists to support student welfare, including student community, at the seminary. Among other responsibilities, this mission means we do the following:


  • Meet regularly with students
  • Serve as a sounding board and resource for all kinds of student concerns
  • Plan for chapels and their child care
  • Support fellowship groups
  • Host student gatherings
  • Manage seminary housing
  • Provide and support the policies of the student handbook
  • Offer free hot and caffeinated beverages
  • Pray for you

Stop in our offices at the east end of Machen Hall, inside the building entrance nearest the gazebo. Set up a meeting with one of the us, or email us together or individually. We look forward to hearing from and seeing you!
