Admission to 西雅图太平洋神学院 is a two-way process of discernment. 你, 申请人, must determine whether SPS offers the kind of theological education and spiritual formation appropriate to your vocational objectives. 你可以通过研究网易彩票app的宣传材料来做到这一点, 网易彩票app(如果可能), 通过与网易彩票app的教师交谈, 工作人员, 和学生, 通过祈求上帝的指引, 通过咨询值得信赖的精神顾问. 相反, the SPS 招生 Committee must determine whether you are spiritually and academically prepared to succeed in one of our programs. We do so by carefully and prayerfully studying your application materials and by assessing how your gifts, 美惠三女神, and sense of vocation fit with the mission and ethos of the Seminary. We admit women and men who can demonstrate a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, 对宣告上帝统治的承诺, 在硕士水平的学术工作中取得成功的能力, and an emotional and spiritual readiness to undertake graduate theological study.
