The leaders we prepare here will not just manage churches, organizations, and institutions, but will lead movements in their local communities and our world.
Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary is deeply committed to forming courageous leaders in the way of Jesus to cultivate communities of justice, compassion, and hope for the thriving of the Church and the healing of the world.
For over 170 years we have prepared spiritually adventurous, intellectually daring, and deeply faithful leaders for service to the Church, the academy, and diverse cultures and settings. Over the course of that long history, much has remained constant—our Christian identity and purpose, our Methodist tradition and ethos, our ecumenical spirit and commitment, and our determination to form and equip servant leaders who are ready, willing, and able to lead courageously in challenging times.
In the U.S. and global Church, Latiné contributions are often overlooked, underfunded, or outright opposed. This not only robs well-deserved resources from Latiné communities—it impoverishes the Church as a whole and inhibits full understanding of how God moves through the world. A growing partnership is trying to change that.
“We can’t talk climate change or catastrophe without talking about colonialism at the same time,” Dr. Wonhee Anne Joh says. “When you discuss it devoid of these racialized colonial histories, you presume a false equivalence. Climate change may be a shared global responsibility, but we are not all equally responsible for this crisis—nor will its harm be evenly felt.”
