FAR GREATER
You are called to immeasurably more.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine… be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20–21
The call to serve Christ and his church is immeasurably demanding. But Christ is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine. For more than 90 years, Westminster has trained Bible specialists who have served with faithfulness and endurance. Today we’re pairing Westminster’s trademark excellence with renewed imagination for the cause of Christ and his global church—profound preparation for a profound call.

PROFOUND PREPARATION
A new generation
of integrated training.
01
An Integrated Curriculum
In 1929 Westminster’s founder, J. Gresham Machen, vowed that the seminary would not provide training of “the customary superficial kind,” but rather teach the Whole Counsel of God. Today—more than 90 years later—we remain faithful to that mission. Our courses are presented in beautiful sequence, building on and informing each other to equip men and women to become specialists in the Bible.
WE TEACH THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD
Redemptive-Historical Hermeneutics
Redemptive-Historical Hermeneutics
Each passage in Scripture is best understood in its connection to God’s one unfolding story of redemption accomplished by Jesus. Just as the full tree is present in the acorn, so also is the gospel present in the Old Testament in embryonic form. Biblical interpretation is rooted in a rigorous exegesis that reads every text as bearing witness to God’s work in Christ. (Key Passage: Luke 24:44–47)

A RICH HISTORY
The story of Westminster began with a bold act of vision. This is still our spirit today.
“But to Christ, despite all, we hold.” These are the words from founder J. Gresham Machen that launched Westminster almost 100 years ago—and they have remained true to Westminster’s conviction ever since.
