Welcome to Western Seminary

Thank you for taking the time to review the information in this catalog. Catalog text, by its very nature, rarely captures the heart and dynamic of an institution; so please allow me to try to capture here the heart of Western Seminary.

Our mission is to train men and women to be faithful and fruitful agents of spiritual transformation in the lives of others. Having confidence in the uniquely transforming power of the biblical gospel, and knowing how to communicate God’s truth and love in both word and deed, our graduates are well-equipped to play key roles in the outworking of the Church’s mission. 

Their role may focus on a pulpit, a counseling center, a mission field, a classroom, the marketplace, or some other venue; regardless of the setting, Western Seminary grads have been trained to be salt and light in it.

That redemptive impact depends on empowerment from the Holy Spirit. Such empowerment is most likely to be experienced when followers of Christ model personal godliness, submit their lives to the truths revealed in Scripture, and join the Lord in the outworking of His salvific mission. Biblically-grounded, Christ-focused and gift-based ministry emerges, as does an atmosphere marked by both grace and gratitude. These values represent the heart of the “gospel-centered transformation” that we aim for. 

If you too aspire to be that kind of catalyst and resource for spiritual renewal, then investigating what God is doing at Western Seminary is well worth your time. Please look over the information contained in our catalog. Then connect with us to learn more about how we can help equip you for life-changing ministry.

Your co-laborer in Christ,

Dr. Randal Roberts
