Community Life

There is something special about life on the Austin Seminary campus - an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation that doesn't just come from the Texas sun. Students, faculty, staff, and administrators comprise one community where all are valued and honored for their different backgrounds, gifts, and callings. This understanding extends beyond the classroom; a spirit of collegiality and Christian fellowship unites all who work, live, and study on the Seminary campus.

At the heart of our life together are daily chapel services, led by rotating teams of students and faculty; other seasonal worship services and community-wide festivals augment the liturgical calendar. An active student senate sponsors weekly gatherings and occasional parties and picnics; the senate also provides space for interest-based student groups.
