Blessing the New Space: An Inside Look at 767 Eustis

After months of planning and searching and confidential discussions, we can legally share all of the updates about our new campus! The lease is signed; building permits are approved by the city of St. Paul, and construction is well underway. Currently, the construction crew is building the metal frames that will hold our chapel, the Intersection, classrooms, conference rooms, and offices.

Last week, during United Days Homecoming, alums toured the construction site of the new campus and wrote prayers, intentions, and blessings on the metal frames of the classrooms and the Intersection.

At 3 p.m. on Monday, October 22, students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to tour and bless the new space. We will announce additional dates and times in the near future. Want to join us? Click here to register.

We will work to keep you informed about progress as much as possible and to let you know as far in advance as we can about invitations to visit the new campus; however, because the general contractor and project managers are focused on keeping the build on schedule, that can result in information delays and invitations that may feel last minute. We will do our best keep these frustrations to a minimum.

Thank you for being part of our community and supporting us on this exciting new journey!

All my best,

Amee McDonald
Vice President for Marketing

Lauren Busey (’07) Ministers to a New Beloved Community at Pickledilly Skokie

Lauren Busey (’07) grew up in the Lutheran church, earned an undergraduate degree from Luther College, and thought she would probably attend a Lutheran seminary. Then, at a Luther College women’s retreat, Rev. Dr. Christie Cozad Nueger (’80)— Professor Emerita of Pastoral Counseling and Pastoral Theology (1992–2005)—was the featured speaker and knew Lauren’s campus pastor. “So,” Lauren remembers, “we just kind of got to talking, and within a couple of weeks, I was enrolled at United.” United “was a good fit,” Lauren asserts. She found a welcoming community of fellow students and treasured professors. Those who had the greatest impact include Rev. Dr. Jann Cather Weaver (Associate Professor Emerita of Worship, and Theology and the Arts, 2001–2012), Dr. Marilyn Salmon† (Professor Emerita of New Testament Theology, 1989–2014), and Dr. Carolyn Pressler (Professor Emerita of Biblical Interpretation, 1990–2020).

Images of Hope: Advent in Art

Art has the tremendous power to restore us in a time when our world seems to make no sense and we need a moment of respite and encouragement from our daily struggles. A single photograph of a flower or a laughing child can buoy our spirit to carry on. (more…)

Alex Sánchez Rodriguez Finds Vocational Inspiration at United

Alex Sánchez Rodriguez, who plans to graduate from United in 2026 with an MA in Religion and Theology, was initially drawn to the seminary’s Interreligious Chaplaincy program. Since taking more classes, engaging with his professors, becoming involved in the Student Leadership Collective, and taking on other extracurricular activities, he has settled on a new calling. “I discovered,” Alex shares, “that I have a natural affinity toward academics.” In fact, he admits, “I want to be like my professors.” Before coming to United, Alex was a substitute teacher in Puerto Rico. Since he moved to Minnesota, he has been working in student development and promoting student success. The priority of student success is the throughline, Alex perceives, from his current role and an academic career. “If I am to go into academia,” he explains, “part of my success as a teacher, professor, and researcher depends on the success of my future students.” (more…)
