Center for Church Vocations - Valparaiso University

Church Vocations Symposium

Church Vocations Symposium encourages students interested in different church vocations to interact with one another over a meal and discussion being held in the Lutheran Deaconess Association bdlg. on Tuesdays this spring 2013. Presentations may include a professor reflecting on the relationship of his or her field of study and theology; missionaries; pastors and other church workers describing their work and their call to ministry or guest speakers on topics relating to contemporary ministry in the church today.

Text studies are led by Dr. David Weber, Director of Church Vocations Symposium, or a guest faculty or pastor member.

If you're not on the "Church Voc" e-mail list and would like to be, send an e-mail to Doreen.Olguin-Flores@valpo.edu and we'll add you to the list (limited to VU students, faculty and staff).
