Brown Bag Sabbatical
The Brown Bag Sabbatical is an invitation from the Ockenga Institute to bring your own project to Gordon-Conwell each January and join pastors from around New England and beyond for your own week-long study leave.
With a little help from us, you can enjoy the beauty of the Gordon-Conwell campus and take advantage of its resources. The Brown Bag Sabbatical offers a full plate of opportunity at a "brown bag" price.
Purpose
The purpose of the Brown Bag Sabbatical is to provide an environment for pastors to have a week-long study leave. The program is minimally structured so pastors may utilize the seminary's resources to spend time studying, resting and as a personal retreat. Meet other pastors from around the country to share about ministry during our lunch roundtable discussions and interact with Gordon-Conwell faculty.
Program Highlights
- Five days and four nights at Gordon-Conwell and a local hotel (single and double occupancy room options and continental breakfast)
- Lunch and roundtable discussions with Gordon-Conwell faculty
- Full access to campus facilities (library, media center, etc.)
- Times of corporate worship and prayer
- Coffee and snacks provided throughout the day
Cost
The cost for the Brown Bag Sabbatical includes four nights at a local hotel which includes continental breakfast, five lunches on campus, and coffee and snacks provided throughout the day.
