Our Presbyterian Seminaries Viewbook The Committee on Theological Education is honored to produce this new resource on behalf of and in partnership with our Presbyterian seminaries. Ours is a ministry collaboration that, at its best, serves the church. “Seminaries and churches together ... for generations to come ...” is more than a logo and slogan; it is our hope and prayer as we outline, on behalf of the PC(USA), the more expansive view of theological education that we believe the triune God is calling us toward. It is a view of theological education, of church leadership and vocational discernment that takes into account the people and places, the minds and the hearts of Presbyterians in and related to seminaries in a variety of ways. Each of our seminaries is a unique gift offered to the church for you and all. Enjoy getting to know them for the first time or again in their ever Reformed and reforming character.
