The School of Theology
Forming lay and ordained leaders for the Episcopal Church
In the Anglican tradition of forming disciples through a common life of prayer, study, and service, the seminary offers residential education surrounded by God’s creation in a rural, natural setting. The seminary’s rigorous curriculum is grounded in tradition, while also emphasizing development of the creative capacity required to take the core activities of the Church—which is to gather, hear the Word, and share the sacraments—and adapt them to the changing demands of our time.
