As part of fulfilling our mission, members of the Divinity School are available to serve your congregation in a variety of ways. Faculty, staff and students look forward to opportunities to serve your church through preaching, offering Bible studies, and leading ministry seminars. Faculty and staff are sometimes available to serve in the interim while churches conduct a ministerial search process. Additionally, Divinity students are available for youth retreats and other special occasions.
Student Preaching Experience
We invite your church to partner with Campbell Divinity through our Student Preaching Experience (SPE), providing an opportunity for a student to lead in worship. The desire of the SPE is to connect divinity students with churches who are willing to provide hands-on ministerial experience. This allows students a place to further discover their preaching voice in a nurturing community of faith.
Make plans to participate in one of these intentional days to host divinity students at your church.
