Welcome to "Point of Contact"

Dear Fellow Alum,

Changing world, eternal Word. As this great phrase reminds us, Westminster Theological Seminary has always sought to penetrate world and culture with the transcendent Gospel message. In the 21st century, communications are rapid and the Internet serves as the primary vehicle for the exchange of ideas. Capitalizing on this important medium, we are TOTALLY revamping our website so that we can in fresh ways communicate the Gospel.

Poised to launch the new website on November 26, 2007, we eagerly anticipate this extraordinary overhaul, as we hope to serve you in measurable ways. Please not only pray for these next weeks of editing, but also at the launch date, start your regular visits to the new site. At that point, and growing over subsequent months, greater functionality, more resources, and exciting information will be merely a click away!

Many thanks to all who have attended our Common Ground Dinners! In November, we offer two more: one in Atlanta (November 15) and one in Wilmington, DE (November 29). Please join us for one of these coming dinners, and enjoy the reinvigorating fellowship. If you have questions, please contact us at alumni@wts.edu.

In Our Savior,

David B. Garner, PhD WTS '02
