Throughout the school year, numerous opportunities are provided for groups to come together in formal and informal, planned and spontaneous events. Specific activities include the community luncheons which are provided at a nominal cost to the Eden community three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is also a weekly Monday evening potluck supper held in The Commons. The Social Events Committee assumes responsibility for providing monthly community events for promoting the interrelationships of the entire campus community. The pastoral care of students is an on-going facet of community life.
Every student is assigned to a faculty consultant.
That relationship is a potentially pastoral one. There are two pastors on call who are available to students for conversations as desired. A food pantry is maintained to take care of emergency food situations among students. The Dean of Students administers a Student Emergency Fund for crises that may require financial assistance. There are three councils of the Seminary, each composed of faculty and students that oversee much of our common life together.
