Schedule a Campus Visit (Tues, Thurs, Fri)
A campus visit will equip you to pray, discern and decide. We invite prospective seminary students to experience Western firsthand, at our facility in Holland, Michigan.
On your visit to our campus, you will be immersed in the life of our community for a day. We will introduce you to students and faculty and give you the chance to experience worship in the chapel, community coffee time, and a class. You will be able to have individual conversations with our academic dean, our director of formation for ministry, and if available, the president of the seminary. You’ll be treated to lunch by current students, who will field any questions you may have about student life at Western. Questions about tuition will be answered by our financial aid administrator. It sounds like a long day, but it will be well worth your time! We look forward to meeting you.
Schedule a Conversation (Tues, Thurs, Fri)
Alternatively, if you can’t make it to campus, we invite you to schedule a virtual conversation and tour! Please use the form below to request a virtual visit.
