Open House invitation Invite someone to our spring Open House
It sometimes takes a nudge from a friend or pastor for someone to hear God's call to ministry. You can encourage someone you know to attend our spring Open House, March 13. It's an ideal time to sit in on classes, attend chapel, meet professors and students and get answers to questions. When you visit our Open House Web page, you can send an invitation online to someone with gifts for ministry.
