Grace Theological College is ecumenical.  We are welcoming and multi-faith. We honor the final discourse of Jesus - John 17: 21.  Our diverse faculty are multinational, multifaith, multidenominational,  multiage, multirace and welcoming of Interreligious dialogue.

No, We Do Not.

• You must pass our two-step interview process.  It is designed to bring out the best in the person who has chosen to answer his/her calling by the Holy Spirit to God's service. At Grace Theological College, we are faith-filled, educated, progressive, tough, affirming, and joyful servants in God's vineyard. We look forward to getting into Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble.

• You must embrace the importance of faith and courage as did St. Grace of Saragossa, St. Paul,  St. Oscar Romero, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Rev. Anna Murray, Pastor John Lewis,  Pope Francis, Dr. Jon Wingaards, Archbishop Carl Bean, Sister Harriet Tubman,  Father Gustavo Gutiérrez-Merino Díaz, St. Dorothy Day...... 

• You must be willing to "Walk the Talk" of your spiritual call from the Holy Spirit to serve as Social-Justice clergy. "Lip-service" is not enough. At Grace Theological College, you will learn to actively listen, ponder wisely, articulate clearly, plan accordingly, roll up your sleeves, and serve Creation.

• Your life experiences must clearly demonstrate a love for God, intelligence, motivation, tenacity, courage, compassion, joy, self-respect, and self-discipline.

Applicants who do not have a degree may be admitted, however, will be required to take additional courses as determined.

Yes, we do, and Yes, they are!!

 You will have the guidance and support of our large, multicultural, multidenominational, and  very experienced faculty. You can safely answer your call to ministry among committed, compassionate, highly educated teachers, role-models, and mentors.

We are a Hybrid College

 We have a strong digital component so that wherever you are you may attend livestream lectures, talk with classmates, attend office hours with your professors, study in the seminary library, have long theological discussions over meals with your peers while in different states and countries, and much more. 

At the same time we offer face-to-face teaching and training seminars in which our Liturgical Music seminarians learn to sing in private and public settings in their local communities, our Pastoral Ministry seminarians learn to serve in local congregational ministries, our Chaplain seminarians serve in local community settings, prisons, and  healthcare facilites, and our Pastoral Counselors seminarians listen and guide individuals and families online with caring and compassion.  All externships, internships, and training seminars are supervised 

by experienced Faculty. 

If you feel called to serve God and God's creation through Sacred Activism and Social Justice ministries, and are ready to enroll in an ecumenical seminary that is multidenominational,  multicultural, multiracial, and welcoming, Grace Theological College may be for you.
