While the Program of Faith, Learning & Vocation is committed to helping all members of the College community explore their significant life commitments through the lens of vocation, it has a particular interest in identifying and developing the next generation of excellent candidates for professional ministry, lay and ordained. To that end, our program offers students considering ministry a way to consistently engage significant issues and ideas related to ministry.

Students in the Ministry Formation Group should be exploring a call to ministry. Group members are expected to be actively involved in ministry, on a paid or volunteer basis. While many of these ministries may take place in churches or faith-based agencies, some positions that involve direct support of others may qualify.

As this is a year-long program, admission is generally restricted to students who will be on campus for the full year. Preference will generally be given to juniors and seniors. For full consideration, applicants should complete their information by Monday, October 12, 2009.

We are currently accepting applications for this year's Ministry Formation Group.

The Ministry Formation Group is the latest evolution of what was formerly known as Ministry Interns. We've taken the best elements of the formation program previously offered students hired by FLV and are now offering them to a wider cross-section of students!
