The third graduating class of five in 1998 labor in West Virginia and Ohio. Therefore, students cannot be secularly employed while enrolled at West Virginia School of Preaching. They do, however, ordinarily work with area congregations while enrolled in classes. Typically, students participate in a 30 minute chapel program and six hours class time daily Monday through Friday. They are expected to spend an equal amount of time out of class on their studies, research papers, assigned reading, etc.
Students are in great demand for appointment and fill-in preaching.
Also, they have been invited to participate in area Gospel meetings and church lectureship programs. A new home for West Virginia School of Preaching was recently built on property adjoining the existing facilities of the Hillview Terrace church of Christ in Moundsville. Staff, faulty and students moved into the new school building to begin classes for the fall sessions of 1998. Sister congregations and individual Christians are to be commended for their prayerful, moral and financial participation in this undertaking.
