Transformation, By The Renewing of Your Mind

A church won’t survive when the only leader who has been shaped by the gospel is the pastor. So while Western Seminary trains world-class pastors who can shepherd well in any context, we also develop chaplains, coaches, missionaries, educators, counselors, and lay leaders — who renew their minds by a rich integration of biblical studies, ministry skill, and spiritual formation. This sort of gospel-centered transformation means taking what is timeless and transcendent about God and His Word, and connecting it with people in relevant, innovative ways that revitalize their churches and communities. Renewed minds help build churches that advance the Great Commission.
