Participation
As All-Seminary Retreat attendance is expected for masters students, all expenses, except for those involved in travel, have been covered by tuition. Students will be in the midst of a regular class week so we encourage you to plan schedules so this retreat can be the oasis of grace it is intended to be. We recognize personal matters and ministry duties demand the attention of many of you, constantly threatening to overwhelm our time available “apart” with the Lord. And yet that time and that relationship is the sustenance of both our spiritual life and an effective ministry. We ask that you schedule this retreat as a priority on your calendar.
D.Min. students, NES alumni, trustees, faculty, and staff are also offered the opportunity to attend free of charge.
