Focus Weekends at the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry
Students meet in Topeka, Kansas, the second Saturday and Sunday morning of each month, August through May. Students thoroughly prepare for their focus weekends for about four weeks in advance, completing all assigned readings and pre-class assignments for a single topic/course. During the weekend, students receive 10 hours of face-to-face instruction in their chosen subject from a highly qualified instructor.
In addition, there is time spent worshipping with the daily offices and an opportunity to share in various activities and conversation with our Community Time on Saturday evenings.

Students will tell you that some of the most enriching time they spend together happens over meals, during worship and at evening receptions on Friday and Saturday nights.
