Habits of the Heart
One of the first disciplines to be shelved for many seminarians is one's daily
time alone with God in prayer, Bible study and personal reflection. We want to serve
as a catalyst for ongoing spiritual growth via the quiet times you share with the
Lord. We will encourage your walk with Christ each time we meet together in small
group or one-on-one. We will host “Soul Sabbaths” during each Reading Week in hopes
that you will take a day to set aside several hours to cultivate intimacy with the
Savior. Each of these initiatives has the state of your soul as our top priority
while you are a student with us. These disciplines, properly set, will serve as a
life-giving resource for the rest of your ministry career.

Spiritual Community
It's impossible to complete seminary in isolation…far better in the context of community.
Setting apart time to develop spiritual friendships will significantly enhance your
seminary experience. We trust you will develop life-long friendships here that will
serve as confidantes for many years to come. We will ask each seminary student to
join a small group throughout your years on campus. We will come alongside each facilitator
of our small groups with training and resources to enhance this vital experience.
Once the joy of relationships is established, you will be grateful for the support
network you create at Gordon-Conwell, which in turn will serve as life-enriching
fellowship for the decades of ministry ahead of you.
Dynamic Paradigms
There is not simply one way of disciple-building; in fact, there are as many ways
as there are people groups and needs in this world. However, there are timeless,
biblical principles that shape each paradigm available to the body of Christ today.
We want each seminary student to come in contact with as many life-transforming ways
of presenting the gospel and growing disciples as possible. We host an Annual Forum
that addresses the question of “what are the dynamic paradigms for disciple-building
for today's world?” We desire that each seminarian understand the biblical mandate
for discipleship and we hope to offer resources and training that will prepare you
for wherever God's call leads you into serving others...as together we proclaim the
whole gospel to the whole world
