Face-to-Face Education
Westminster Seminary California remains committed to an in-person educational model in which we learn, live, and love together during a season of preparation for ministry. Seminary education is not an end in itself, rather, it lays a foundation for a life of service in Christ’s kingdom. We hope you will come and study with us in person!
The Value of In-Person Training
Theological education and preparation for ministry, like ministry itself, is intensely personal and deeply communal. This personal and communal approach leads to a robust education and a well-rounded preparation for a lifetime of service. Getting ready to serve Christ, his kingdom, and his church means more than outstanding classroom lectures—as important as they are—it means developing deep personal relationships with faculty mentors and other students. We believe that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the church created by the Word, are worthy of pastors and leaders educated in this personal approach to Reformed theological education.

Ways to Build Community at WSC
At Westminster Seminary California, learning does not start and stop during scheduled classes. WSC students, alumni, and faculty all count their interactions with one another in the student lounge, library, local coffee shops, (beaches—we must say something about beaches in Southern California), and homes among their fondest memories of seminary. It is in these settings where the classroom instruction is nurtured, matured, and nuanced.
