Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary provides a variety of degree programs, certificates, and continuing education for passionate, creative, and courageous spiritual leaders seeking to make a difference.
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.
Students in our incoming class hail from 26 states and 13 countries! While their journeys to seminary are deeply personal, there are also broad commonalities to why they chose Garrett for theological education. Broad diversity in the faculty and student body; focus on community building; engagement with the world’s most pressing needs—read why students felt called to study in this place.
“I wanted a counseling program that incorporated more than just Western conceptions of healing.” Part of what drew Allison Martin to Garrett’s Masters of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling is the way its faculty integrates scholarship and communal wisdom from their home countries like Ghana and South Korea—a focus on holistic wellness and trauma informed care.
