United Methodist Theological Schools

Through the 13 United Methodist seminaries, the church is forming, shaping, and training men and women for a variety of Christian ministries. These excellent institutions provide the foundation for those who have responded to God’s call so that they might effectively live out their particular vocation.

As you prayerfully consider God’s call in your life, we invite you to consider one of these theological schools for your seminary training. Visit the campuses and talk with students and faculty. Descriptions and links to the Web sites are provided below.

May God bless you as you prepare to serve the church and the world in the name of Jesus Christ.
