School of Theology
Academy: Whether you’re an undergraduate or a seminary student, you’ll experience a rigorous yet supportive academic environment, learning from outstanding biblical and theological scholars who possess a deep Christian faith.
Abbey: In the School of Theology, we stress accountable discipleship, providing opportunities for you to worship and fellowship in intentional Christian community, in order to be formed more and more in the likeness of Christ.
- Apostolate: The School of Theology is a place where we prepare you to go into the world. You’ll participate in service activities — acts of mercy and justice — that will sometimes stretch you beyond your comfort zone for the sake of the gospel.
Are you looking for a community of scholars and friends who have a deep, abiding commitment to Christian faith that reaches around the world and is local at the same time? The School of Theology at Seattle Pacific University is that place. Through a unique model of scholarship, spiritual edification, and service that we call “Academy, Abbey, and Apostolate,” students are educated and equipped to engage the culture as thoughtful people.
