Teaching Beyond the Classroom

At CTSFW we recognize that a great deal of learning happens outside the classroom. That’s why members of our faculty go out of their way to engage with student beyond the classroom. From lunch in the dining hall to dinners in their homes, our faculty love to spend time with our students.

A part of getting to know you as a student is learning to love and care for you even as you will care for God’s people as a pastor. We love as we are loved, and your experience with the faculty at CTSFW will provide an example and lay a foundation for your future ministry. Our faculty will be teachers and mentors throughout your seminary journey.
