Whether you take online courses or hybrid courses at any of our extension sites or at our main campus, the Office of Global Student Life and Formation is here to serve all of our non-residential students. Our core belief is that formation is a lifelong journey, and we are glad to be on that journey with you as you answer God’s call. As a Global Student, you will have opportunities to worship in community at our extension sites, join a discipleship group, engage in a variety of fellowship opportunities, and receive pastoral care and prayer. As we partner in this journey together, we ask that God would richly bless you, as you continue the process of deep, abiding formation that will last a lifetime.

Global Connection Zoom Meetings

For all non-residential hybrid and online students, we offer monthly Zoom gatherings where students can connect with the Asbury GSLF Team and other global students. The purpose of these gatherings is to provide a space for students to ask questions, provide feedback, learn about our resources, and receive the most recent updates. These are also opportunities for students to pray with one another and form discipleship groups.

If you are interested in participated in these gatherings, you can save the event to your Asbury Google Calendar. This will require you to login to your account. If you have not already done so and enter your seminary email address and password. Once you are signed in, you can add the event to your Asbury Google Calendar. Be sure to click “Save.”

This is a recurring event, and saving it to your calendar will help you keep the dates and the Zoom link handy. The event also includes a number of automatically generated email notifications to remind you when to join us each month. If at any point you would like to remove this recurring event from your calendar, simply click on the next instance of the event in your calendar and then click on the trash can icon. This will give you the option to delete that particular instance of the event or to delete all instances.

Prayer

Prayer is a vital part of our life in Christ. Our team wants you to know that we are available to pray with you and for you. Please fill out this form, and one of our team members will reach out to you by email or by phone. Please note that discretion is a priority for us. You can indicate in the form whether you would like us to share your prayer request with the entire prayer team or just with our director and associate directors.

Extension Sites

At our extension sites, we coordinate chapel services for each hybrid course and provide a fellowship lunch following chapel. We staff these chapels with local preachers and worship leaders, as well as with our own professors and staff members. Our global site chaplains provide a pastoral presence for global students. There is one chaplain per site, and each chaplain is available to students primarily on chapel day to facilitate worship, coordinate hospitality, and host fellowship time. Each chaplain is also available to pray with students and offer formation-related resources.
