Seminary is no longer just for pastors in training. A seminary education serves anyone who recognizes a need for greater depth in their Christian life or better integration of Christian ideals in their chosen vocation. And while seminary students come to TEDS from diverse backgrounds and train for very different reasons, common among them is a search for a deeper understanding of God and his Word.
A TEDS education can prepare you for:
- Ministry as a pastor, missionary, chaplain, para-church staff member, or lay leadership in a church
- A career in personal counseling, marriage counseling, or pastoral counseling
- Advanced academic study to be a teacher, professor, or researcher
- Biblically engaging culture in the secular workplace
The purpose of a theological education is never simply to gain more knowledge, but to go deeper — into the New Testament and Old Testament, theology, church history, intercultural studies, Christian education, psychology — in order to serve Christ more fully, wherever he may lead.
A seminary education will place you in a community of Christ’s disciples, surrounding you with students, faculty, and staff who believe not only in the saving grace of God but also in your tremendous potential as his servant. Seminary offers you all the benefits of a rigorous academic program, with the added advantage of studying with fellow believers from all over the world.
