At Duke Divinity School, we form students for their future vocation in a variety of ways: through coursework, worship, workshops, field education, spiritual formation groups, Commissioning and Full Connection seminars, houses of study, and denominational associations. 

Faculty and staff throughout the school guide students in discernment conversations, helping students explore their call and remain open to how God is working in their lives. We also regularly host opportunities for students to engage with alumni, so they can explore beyond their current context.

In all of our programs, a thoughtful and imaginative engagement with Scripture and tradition, rigorous reflection, and interaction with people’s experiences and the dynamics of the contemporary world come together to form a community of reflective practitioners and leaders for the Church.
