Concordia Seminary is pleased to announce a brand-new event for college students thinking about becoming pastors or deaconesses - Green and Gold Day. Throughout the year, Concordia Seminary will host three one-day events for these college students. Each Green and Gold Day will provide a quick opportunity for college men and women to come and see all the Seminary offers. They will experience the campus, attend classes, worship in chapel and speak with members of the faculty. To end the day, Concordia Seminary will treat participants to a dinner reception. The Green and Gold Day on January 8 will be devoted to women considering deaconess studies. The October 17 and April 3 Green and Gold Days will be focused on pastoral formation.

One unique feature of Green and Gold Days is that pastors and pre-seminary advisors are encouraged to attend the event with their students. By extending this invitation, Concordia Seminary hopes to recognize their role in supporting students interested in pastoral and deaconess studies.

To register for this event, please contact the Admissions Office at 800-822-9545 or admissions@csl.edu.
