Called to Become a Minister? Take the Next Step at Experience Saint Paul

You may have recently discerned a call to ministry. You may have already applied to seminary.

But how do you know what to expect as you take the next step in this journey?

Whether God is leading you to pastor a church, serve as chaplain for a community organization, or provide spiritual guidance in some other role, you may be unsure of how to become a minister.

Saint Paul School of Theology invites you to learn first-hand what seminary is like by joining us for Experience Saint Paul. You’ll have the opportunity to interact with students, faculty and staff, participate in worship and visit classes.
