Students Participate in Field School of Evangelism

In partnership with the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Andrews University
’s Department of Religion & Biblical Languages conducted its Field School of Evangelism this past May. Under the instruction and guidance of Rodney Palmer, chair of the Department of Religion & Biblical Languages and associate professor of religion, 12 theology students were given opportunities to work with several churches in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States.

The field school is a requirement of the undergraduate theology program. Every other year, Palmer and other program leaders collaborate with different Adventist conferences to provide students with practical experience in preparation for pastoral ministry. The students are assigned to work with different churches and pastors, and over the course of eight to 10 nights, the students preach and minister to the communities they are in.
