Prospective Students

What will you do with your life in light of your faith? If you're a student asking that question, we're here to help. Find resources to guide you in discerning God's calling in your life, plan to pursue a theological education and find support. You're about to embark on a journey to serve others, renew the church and change the world.

Whether you're an undergraduate exploring the idea of ministry as a vocation, an entering seminary student pursuing a Master of Divinity degree, a first-year seminary student seeking to develop excellence in your pastoral leadership skills, a participant in national faith-based volunteer service organizations, or a doctoral student from underrepresented groups who aspires to teach religion, theology or biblical studies, FTE offers fellowships to help you on your journey.

If you're just looking for information about what theological education is all about, we also have a new FTE Guide to Theological Education to assit you with asking the right questions, finding degrees and schools that match your objectives and tips for creating a plan for financing your education.

You can also find articles and presentations on vocational discernment and reflections on a life in pastoral ministry on FTE blogs, and in our publications and videos.
