Seminary representatives traveled from Louisiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, and Florida to share with students about new and traditional programs – including but not limited to Apologetics, Biblical Counseling, Theology, Missions, and accelerated Master of Divinity degrees.
The group also included two in-house representatives: 1) WCU’s Baptist Student Union, who spoke with students about an Argentina mission trip supported by the IMB in the spring which will focus on church planning and university ministry; 2) WCU Intercultural Studies, who spoke with students about mission service.
About 80 WCU students attended the event, exploring their next steps after earning their bachelor’s degrees and planning ways they can serve now through domestic and international missions.
