Exploring Religious Leadership

Simpson College seeks to identify students who are strong candidates for leadership in a religious community. The college has two main objectives to help students explore religious leadership.

  1. To establish a broader set of opportunities for all students to consider the multiple ways they can serve a church or other religious communities through both ordained and lay ministry. Included in this approach are programs that introduce student to ministry options as well as programs that provide experiences to help them discern God's calling in their lives. In addition, there are programs that enable a number of students to engage with professionals in various ministry settings.
  2. To create a pre-seminary mentoring structure for students who are seriously considering post-graduate seminary education. The pre-seminary group is for students in whom the chaplains or religion faculty see gifts for ministry and for students who already identify themselves as "pre-seminary."
