Community Life is an important part of the seminary experience for students, faculty, and staff. Opportunities for sharing and conversation take many forms, both face-to-face and online.

For individuals on campus, community meals are joyous occasions for telling stories and visiting with one another. A quiet gathering around the fireplace in the Student Commons can be particularly satisfying.  Community worship in Meinders Chapel, as well as morning and evening prayer times, invite the PTS family to be together in special ways. 

Chapel homilies are now available as podcasts, with links on the PTS homepage.  Also, links to occasional devotional materials are available through the Prayers and More links on the homepage. 

Each week during the school year, the Office of Admissions and Student Services posts Joys, Concerns, and Announcements (JC&A). Also available in email form, this communication page keeps us informed about one another and gives details regarding special events.  Announcements are visible to the public.  Joys and concerns allow for comments in a password protected page.  To obtain the password or to add your event, celebration, or prayer request, please email Lindsey Persing.

Blackboard course sites provide access to online communication for students enrolled in a class together.  Instructors often set up discussion forums for informal conversation in addition to official coursework.  PTS staff and faculty make themselves readily available to students and to one another via email.

Chaplain Susanna Southard welcomes visitors in her office next to the Student Commons.  Email contact is especially encouraged.

Your PTS community is never far away!
