STUDENT RESOURCES
Welcome to the Student Resources Page! We've compiled a list of programs to better help our students throughout their time with DSF. Please make sure to check back as this list will grow and expand over time. If you would like to submit a program to be added to the list, please send us an email at info@dsf.edu.
DSF PROGRAMS
DSF Connects is a virtual event that was established in the Fall of 2022 to give students an opportunity to connect with ministries and programs within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Join us for a time of reflection, fellowship, and spiritual connection. For more information on our next event please email info@dsf.edu.
DSF is excited to offer Spiritual Direction sessions to its students in partnership with certified spiritual directors, who are specially trained in accompanying people on their spiritual journeys. Each session is a one-on-one meeting with one of the spiritual directors listed below (and other spiritual directors who may be added along the way). Each DSF student may meet for spiritual direction once per month; the duration of the meetings depends on the individual spiritual director. The cost for students is $40 per session. DSF is covering all other costs.
COMING SOON!
