Student Life Student Groups

Christian Community

Our students have formed a number of organizations centered around common interests and goals. You and your family’s time at TEDS can be enriched by participating in any of these groups or in the events they sponsor during the year. At different times, there are active groups such as:

Student Leadership Council

The Student Leadership Council (SLC) is a group of elected students who advocate for and represent the TEDS student body in various ways, including interfacing with faculty and administration, as well as providing leadership in campus activities and overseeing various student organizations.

Fellowship of International Students (FIS)

The Fellowship of International Students exists to advocate for and attend to the needs of the F-1 and J-1 student community and their families. The FIS also strives to be a bridge builder by facilitating enriching, diverse, and international experiences and fellowship within the TEDS community. The FIS is composed of fellowship groups such as the African Students Fellowship, Chinese Students Fellowship, Indian Students Fellowship, Japanese Students Fellowship, and Korean Students Fellowship.

Fireside Theology

Fireside Theology provides a space for interactive, engaging, and participatory theological reflection on issues confronting the church in the world today. Speakers and discussions include an ongoing conversation about the Church and societies.

International Missions Fellowship (IMF)

IMF exists to inform the TEDS community about the nature, extent, and opportunities of home and foreign missionary service. It’s open to all TEDS students who are passionate about world evangelism. IMF seeks to stimulate awareness and involvement in the cross- cultural communication of the gospel in fulfillment of the Great Commission becoming a reality for every believer.

Preacher’s Hub

The Preacher’s Hub is for students who currently serve or aspire to serve in any form of pastoral or teaching ministry. The group exists to build up students in the theory and practice of biblical preaching by studying, discussing, exercising, and mutually encouraging one another in the preparation and delivery of sermons within a safe environment of trust among peers.

Trinity Women’s Fellowship

Trinity Women’s Fellowship exists to enrich relationships with God, family, and other women; to offer support through the unique experience of seminary life; and to provide opportunities for growth and service. Trinity Women’s Fellowship is for female students and women whose husbands are attending TEDS. Through regular meetings and special activities, women have the opportunity to develop strong Christian friendships with other women while experiencing spiritual and educational growth.
