Spouses

We care about more than just your grades – we care about the rest of your lives, including your spouse and children. There are a variety of places where your spouses can find community, hospitality and opportunities for spiritual formation as they walk the seminary journey alongside you.

  • Receive sem-community Information via Email: The seminary uses a subject-based email system that lets users subscribe to email messages based on their subject. If users are interested in a subject, then can indicate it, and will subsequently receive messages sent under that subject. To subscribe, the student needs to go to the Seminary Website > Current Students > Tools & Resources > Manage Seminary Email Preferences, and indicate their preferences.
  • SoulcareSoulcare, a non-profit ministry founded and directed by Carol Muller, seeks to enfold, encourage and equip the spouses of students at Calvin Theological Seminary.
  • Ladies Night OutLadies Night Out is a chance for women from the seminary community to get together for an evening of fun, fellowship and food.
