Experience A Day in the Life of A Seminary Student

This semester’s Day at Shepherds event will take place on Monday, March 13th. This preview offers an informative and enjoyable opportunity to experience life as a seminary student! Join us for the full day, or for any length of time that your schedule allows for. If you or a loved one are considering seminary, have questions about what student life is like, or simply want to find out about auditing a class or two, then this is for you! The Day at Shepherds will be hosted at our main campus in Cary, NC.

You can sit in on featured class sessions, enjoy a complimentary lunch with current students, staff, and faculty, ask questions, and go on a short campus tour. We also offer housing on a first-come, first-served basis, for those visitors to our Cary campus needing overnight accommodations.

In the event that you are unable to attend in person, we will be live-streaming the entire day via Zoom. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration if you elect this option.
