Virtual Campus

SPIRITUAL FORMATION ON THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS

Because we believe spiritual formation is a vital part of the Asbury experience, each virtual classroom has a "prayer" feature. Students are encouraged to send prayer requests and concerns to this conference so that their fellow students and faculty person support, pray, and care for the individual as a tangible expression of the Body of Christ. Community is established and maintained when we extend the hands of Christ through these expressions of Christ's love.

THE CHAPEL

Spiritual nourishment is important for all of our students. Virtual Campus students are encouraged to connect with a local congregation in meaningful ways as well as to take advantage of the "virtual" chapel. The Kentucky Chapel meets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11 am in Estes Chapel and the Florida Chapel meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 pm. Both campuses make chapel services available as downloadable podcasts. You can find them on the ATS website. Preachers, teachers and church leaders from around the world add a variety of learning and worshiping experiences.

COUNSELING, SUPPORT & CARE RESOURCES

Contact the Student and Family Chaplain through the Community Life Office (859.858.2390) for information concerning referral and support options.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE

In addition to financial aid, Counseling and Care resources are available. The Philippian Fund assists students who face unforeseen financial emergencies. And the faculty provides mentoring and formation guidance to those who connect with them in the Christian Formation Program. Information or needs should be directed to the Student and Family Chaplain, through the Community Life Office (859.858.2390).

ECUMENICAL & MULTI-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

Asbury Theological Seminary offers all students varied opportunities for ecumenical and multi-cultural interactions. The virtual campus provides the student with a wider array of both in their actual settings. Because the virtual campus subscribes to "anytime, anywhere" learning, students on the virtual campus learn from each other in their own home and cultural settings.

CAMPUS COMMUNICATION

Asbury Theological Seminary's main communication tool is the FirstClass email system. Information is shared for Community Life events through the Community Life icon in the ATS Info icon on FirstClass. The Asbury Community, Florida Rooms and Rides, Kentucky Rooms and Rides icons also provide many opportunities for communication and community building opportunities.
