At Portland Seminary, we are all about relationships. We gather to exchange ideas, ponder the depths of Scripture together, and simply catch up with one another. To that end, we organize face-to-face intensives (“Advances”) as part of the Semiotics, Church, and Culture Doctor of Ministry program.

These gatherings, held in three different locations over two years, are central to the learning experience in the program. Students connect with cohort members, explore their research with their project faculty, and engage in lectures with their lead mentor, Dr. Leonard Sweet.

You will participate in three Advances during the program:
