Wendy Widder Flyout
August 10, 2010

Grand Rapids Theological Seminary is expanding.

With five cohorts in four cities, the urban ministry leadership education program has led to an increased need for Bible faculty.

Wendy Widder, a GRTS graduate (M.Div., ‘04) in a doctoral program at the University Wisconsin at Madison, will help to fill the need. She will teach Old Testament.

 “We have a lot of confidence in her capability, and this is a great opportunity for her continued development,” said John Verberkmoes, vice president and academic dean. “In addition, GRTS faculty and administration recognize our need to become more diverse (gender and race/ethnicity), and this is an opportunity to make some progress in this important area.”

Widder will be the seminary’s first full-time female faculty member in Bible. She will teach...

Merge flyout

“[Merge is] a week long student conference where – through creative storytelling, art and media, discussion, learning stations and interactive experiences – Merge inspires high school students to merge with God's story, merge with God's way of life, and merge with God's mission,” said Don Perini, associate professor of youth ministry and creativity, who acted as the liaison between Cornerstone and Merge.

The partnership was the result of a task force that was created to see how Cornerstone could engage with local and regional churches, Perini said.

“Merge had incredible success in the past with this conference...
