What Students Are Saying

  • When I joined Theos Seminary, I mainly saw it as an academic enterprise: what I could put to use. I no longer wanted to believe and take for granted a faith and tradition I had held my whole life, but to weigh and consider, strengthen, and defend it. Theos Seminary surpassed my expectations with the rigorously academic and enriching syllabus and the faithfulness to the mission.

    -Jayne from Scotland

  • Theos Seminary opened my eyes to how much theology I was missing in my walk with Jesus. What started as interest in hot topics has turned into a passion for Theology and has connected me to deep desires in my heart, pertaining to God and his call on my life. Seminary has revealed much to me, but one thing is clear: There is a lack of good Christian education in our world today and we need more of Theos Seminary. I recommend it to any Christian - you can't beat the cost for the kind of education and training you will get.

    -Corbin from Kirkland, WA

  • I decided to join Theos Seminary as it had been 25 years since I graduated Bible College and I wanted to refresh my knowledge. Through my time at Theos I am challenged daily to place what I have learnt in the forefront of my daily life but also in my preaching and teaching. I am inspired by the vision of Theos Seminary to be made available to Pastors and Leaders across the globe. It is an invaluable resource to the body of Christ has made me consider my theological positions and challenge engrained thinking. If you are a pastor, teacher or bible student, Theos Seminary is a must.

    -Andrew from Horsham, Australia

  • What Theos Seminary has given me at this time in my life is invaluable. I had already been spending more time in the word and learning the things my childhood “seeker friendly” church had failed to teach me growing up thanks to TheosU. Now I am also grounded in an even more focused way, studying and being quizzed on biblical truths while learning hermeneutics and how to study the word and read the bible correctly. My time with God now is not only spiritual but theological in nature. Waiting for my acceptance letter revealed to me how much I actually wanted this - I checked my email constantly in anticipation and finally, it happened. Welcome to Theos Seminary.

    -Jessi from Tennessee

  • As a Sunday school teacher and mentor, I joined Theos Seminary to be equipped with foundational knowledge to provide theological guidance to those in my local church who are growing in their Christian walk. Theos Seminary challenged me and stretched me theologically, academically, and personally.
The faculty and staff are united on a Godly mission to provide their students with a high-caliber education that will enable them to be well-rounded and trained leaders in their local churches and ministries. I am deeply grateful for Theos Seminary and the lifelong friends I have made through its academic community.
