In 1929 Westminster’s founder, J. Gresham Machen, vowed that the seminary would not provide training of the “customary superficial kind,” but rather offer profound, Christ-centered preparation. Today, more than 90 years later, we remain faithful to that mission—and it drives our commitment to equip you well through teaching the Whole Counsel of God.
