Resources for Seminarians and Prospective Seminarians
During October and November of 2025, the Executive Director will be contacting admissions heads at seminaries around the United States and learning all he can. Having studied at two seminaries he already has some knowledge. If you are interested in attending seminary, or are otherwise in the discernment process, you can set up a Zoom call with him by emailing at matthew.gonzalez@clergycarecollective.org. If you are in formation and have a committee that is resisting allowing you to be ordained, you may also contact Matthew and he can advocate on your behalf. If you are sincere and have made it through seminary (or almost through seminary) Matthew believes you should be ordained if you feel so called.
