Houses of Study
Our houses of study help prepare you for service—and ordination—in the communities and denominations where you’ll serve. They include the Baptist House of Studies, the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies, Black Church Studies, Methodist House, the Presbyterian/Reformed House of Studies, and the Hispanic House of Studies.
These houses support students in a number of ways: by advising students on curricular and extra-curricular needs, counseling and preparing candidates for judicatory examinations or interviews, connecting students with mentors, hosting community get-togethers, and holding other events, services, and workshops.
