Our seminary began only ten years ago with an enthusiastic faculty and fourteen eager students. Our dream then was to be a multi-denominational seminary within the evangelical tradition with one mission: to equip followers of Jesus with the knowledge, skills, and character for twenty-first-century ministry for God’s Kingdom.
Our location is the urban multicultural melting pot of West Palm Beach, the most “never churched” city in America (Barna). Our evangelical commitment is expressed in spiritual formation, theological reflection, and gospel proclamation through word and works.
Our academic community represents the beauty of the diverse and multi-ethnic body of Christ. Our partnerships with over seventy-five dynamic churches across many traditions and cultures invigorate the learning environment.
Today, our exciting journey is one of awe and wonder at God’s faithfulness. Our alumni are thriving in Kingdom work, from pastors to chaplains, from community builders to ministers among displaced peoples, and from Ph.D. students to Bible teachers.
Our story is growing, and we invite you to be part of it!
