The leaders we prepare here will not just manage churches, organizations, and institutions, but will lead movements in their local communities and our world.
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary is deeply committed to forming courageous leaders in the way of Jesus to cultivate communities of justice, compassion, and hope for the thriving of the Church and the healing of the world.
For over 170 years we have prepared spiritually adventurous, intellectually daring, and deeply faithful leaders for service to the Church, the academy, and diverse cultures and settings. Over the course of that long history, much has remained constant—our Christian identity and purpose, our Methodist tradition and ethos, our ecumenical spirit and commitment, and our determination to form and equip servant leaders who are ready, willing, and able to lead courageously in challenging times.
