Facilities

Westminster Seminary California is located in north San Diego County, one of the fastest growing areas in California. Its moderate climate (often cited as the finest in the world), clean air, small cities, and beautiful open spaces make it a delightful area in which to live, study, and minister. At the same time it is just 30 miles northeast of San Diego and 100 miles south of Los Angeles. The Escondido area is the optimum size to permit both faculty and students to secure housing close to the campus and establish a genuine Christian community. There are Reformed and evangelical churches nearby, as well as Christian schools. The population of Escondido itself exceeds 120,000.

The seminary's 8.6-acre campus overlooks a residential and semi-rural section of the community, but it is also only a mile from one of the main arteries of Escondido. The library/administration building houses an extensive library collection, classroom, bookstore, the offices of White Horse Media, and faculty and administrative offices in its 23,000 square feet. The central quad is surrounded by two additional buildings, one housing classrooms, the other with additional offices and the Student Lounge.

The chapel/lecture hall, the most recent addition to our seminary facilities, is a beautiful 7200 square foot building that seats over 250 people. The chapel is used regularly for seminary classes, morning devotions, and seminary-sponsored conferences.

Much of the orange grove that formerly covered the campus has been preserved for student and staff enjoyment. Spacious lawns provide students the opportunity to reflect on God's Word and God's work while surrounded by the beauty of his creation.
