Think Theologically • Engage Globally • Live Biblically
Gordon-Conwell has a rich history with Urbana dating back to its founding, and we’re grateful to continue that connection today. While you’re at Urbana, we invite you to explore more of who we are—and to attend President Scott Sunquist’s seminar on “How to Read the Bible Missionally.”
Whether your calling is to full-time ministry, lay ministry, the workplace, or the academy, Gordon-Conwell is here to support your academic success and spiritual formation as we help equip you for your vocation. After Urbana, take the next step by exploring your calling and our programs by joining a special January webinar: “Exploring Your Calling: Local Roots & Global Reach.”
