Imagine a seminary where you learn to seamlessly integrate spirituality, theology, and the practical arts of ministry…where each is as important as the other…where devotion, conviction, and action naturally blend together to form an integrated whole... where you learn to lead others towards wholeness as Christ led his disciples…where you have the reflective space to discern the unique shape of your own calling…where “your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” (Buechner) That’s what you’ll find at San Francisco Theological Seminary. The need for leaders of faith and vision—who can help others to know, love, and serve the living God in an increasingly diverse world—has never been greater. At San Francisco Theological Seminary, they embrace this challenge, drawing on the limitless wellsprings of God’s own creativity, wisdom, and energy. As they embrace God’s vision of wholeness for the world, they prepare whole leaders for the whole church. Its Mission Statement says it directly: “They are committed to the education of students in spiritual formation, critical theological reflection, and the skills and arts of ministry, to serve in congregations, the wider church, the classroom, and the public sphere.”
