Urbana Seminary is both rigorous and down to earth. This is how I want to walk with God – passionately pursuing truth, but humble and unpretentious about my own understanding. I see this lived out in the faculty and the ethos of the seminary.

Urbana Seminary Distinctives

Intellectual Hospitality

We set a table for students of many different backgrounds to probe vital aspects of life and faith from a historic Christian perspective.

We engage openly with perspectives different from our own­—with curiosity, kindness, and love.

Grounded in Scripture

We believe God’s Word is our trustworthy foundation–guiding our faith and practice.

Formation in Christ

We form the whole person to love, know, and serve God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–and connect deeply with others. 

We form students for service to the whole world: serving Christ–whoever you are, wherever you’re headed. 

 

Preparing people for Christian ministry and leadership,

equipping them to love, know, and serve God.
