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. 

Plans are in the works to make chapel services and daily devotions available through this website. 

Each week during the school year, the Office of Admissions and Student Services sends Joys, Concerns, and Announcements (JC&A), an email communication that keeps us informed about one another and gives details regarding special events.  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!
