Gresham Machen, vowed that the seminary would not provide training of the customary superficial kind,” but rather offer profound, Christ-centered preparation. Today, more than 90 years later, we remain faithful to that mission—and it drives our commitment to equip you well through teaching the Whole Counsel of God.

Reagan W, MDiv Student "Westminster has brought academic, spiritual, and social growth. While it started with professors and classmates on a screen, it grew to include a Greek study group where friendships budded: one of which bloomed into a marriage! Westminster has helped me to consider how right doctrine, founded on proper interpretation of the Scriptures, is essential for ministry." Allison K, MAR Student "Invaluable to my experience at WTS is the combined effect of being taught by world-renowned theologians and studying at my pace through the various online platforms. WTS education has equipped me with information and transformed me through the power of the Holy Spirit to biblically and effectively engage people of diverse cultures in the course of disciple-making for Christ." Ogochukwu o, MAts Student "I believe the Lord has used my training at WTS to directly prepare me for this next season of ministry. I have loved the intentional training, mentorship, friendships with classmates and professors, theological conviction, sacrificial spirit, and much more. I’m forever grateful for my DMin experience at WTS!" Richard P, DMin Student "It’s been an amazing privilege to have studied with fellow students of such diverse backgrounds, yet all with a passion for God’s Word and for his people. I’ve been blessed by a deepening understanding of people as saints, sufferers and sinners, and how scripture speaks a personal and redemptive word to each one of us." Owen S, MAC Student "Although based in the UK, it’s been really encouraging to feel part of the learning community in Pennsylvania with the chance to meet some wonderful godly people."
