About the Seminary

Mission and Vision

Helping students grow in knowledge and identity to answer God’s call on their lives
Preparing women and men for ministerial service for more than 100 years

We believe theological education is more than coursework. In addition to classes in Bible, theology, history, and ministry, we give our student the tools and understanding needed to be competent across cultural, economic, geographic, and gender boundaries.
