Key Facts

At the heart of Portland Seminary is a commitment to the spiritual formation of each student. Formation into Christlikeness prepares us to engage the world for the sake of Christ, and no matter what program you pursue, you will engage in an intentionally designed spiritual formation curriculum. For those who are gifted in listening, companioning and guiding people’s spiritual journeys, this program is for you. It is ideal if you feel called to formation and discipleship ministries such as directors of women's, men's, or children’s ministries, spiritual directors, artists, and retreat ministries. WaterFront is a required two-day online orientation for new students (with the exception of those enrolled in the spiritual direction certification program) every August. This event is full of opportunities for students to connect with faculty, other new students, make final preparations for studies, and participate in spiritual formation activities. BridgeWeek is the seventh week of every semester when all hybrid students come to Portland for face-to-face intensives. Special events are offered throughout the week.
