Preparing leaders for a changing world.
You deserve the best training to step into your calling. That’s why our theology programs are intellectually rigorous, spiritually formative, and emotionally supportive. We recognize that today’s leaders have to be poised to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape and ready to serve in diverse settings, so we prepare our students with diverse course offerings taught by world class faculty.
In a world where the inherent worth and dignity of all people is challenged, we form leaders to proclaim God’s liberative, restorative, and life-affirming message. If you are called to be that kind of leader, join us – pursue your graduate degree at the CTS School of Theology.

School of Theology Faculty
Our theology faculty share core commitments to justice, liberation, and God’s healing of the world. They share the belief that theology is for the enrichment of our common life together, and that all understandings of God and humanity that oppose “life abundant” must themselves be opposed. Racial, gender, and environmental justice are key theological priorities for our shared deliberation. Our faculty is committed to student well-being and to excellence in scholarship, teaching, and service.
