Student Life

Our students have always offered a wide range of ages, previous employments, church backgrounds, and nationalities. The wide variety enriches the atmosphere and culture of the seminary while also providing students with many perspectives and occasions for “iron to sharpen iron,” to assist each other, and to bear each other up in prayer and support. Chapel is held weekly to allow for student fellowship and mutual spiritual learning, worship, and prayer. Several students also meet on a regular basis to pray together, and student families share many times together—meals, activities, and more.

Students will find abundant opportunities to be involved in community outreach, whether it be leading chapels at a local homeless shelter or volunteering at a mission store. An added benefit for students is a food bank on campus, where students and their families have access to free groceries.

Grand Rapids is the second largest city in Michigan and is home to numerous Reformed churches and seminaries. Access to several college and seminary libraries can be obtained for a nominal fee. For the most part, Grand Rapids is a quiet, sprawling city; compared to other large cities, the cost of living is low. Housing is easily found and affordable.
