College-age and older men and women are invited to Contemplate, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis’ visitation event that provides prospective students an opportunity to learn more about life at the Seminary and the preparation that leads to service as a pastor or deaconess. While this event normally occurs on the Seminary campus over the course of several days, due to concerns about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, this one-day, free event will take place online Oct. 2.

They also will walk through the admissions process, learn about the St. Louis area and meet with admissions

“Contemplate is going to be a great time to find out what being a student at CSL is all about, from classes, to life in the community, to what ministry could look like once you graduate,” said Rev. Micah Glenn, director of Recruitment.
