BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY
If you want to develop yourself as a pastoral leader, if you want to hone your skills in bringing “plain truth to plain people,” as John Wesley would say, then you should look deeply into what United has to offer.
My theological education at United pushed me to think deeply about what I believe and how I live it out as I lead others. It challenged me not only academically but also in how I disciple people, raise up leaders, and build a movement around tables and in communities.
Because of United, I am now better prepared to serve with a more profound passion for building the church with the help of the Holy Spirit.
I chose United because I believed it would provide me with a strong Biblical theological education. What I did not expect were the ways that United would also care for me spiritually. Even as a primarily online student, I was able to participate in the spiritual life of the seminary. Everything about United is saturated by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
United has given me the tools to faithfully serve, but, more than that, to disciple and raise up God-fearing men and women who will boldly go and make disciples while spreading the Gospel.
I’ve learned how to read scripture with purpose and not be afraid to ask the challenging or scary questions. United has given me a new perspective and confidence as I journey on in this Christian path.
Mission
United prepares faithful and fruitful Christian leaders to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
Values and Beliefs
We are committed to the historic faith in Jesus Christ passed down to us through scripture, sacraments, creeds and the fathers and mothers of the Church; scriptural holiness for personal transformation and the transformation of the world; and church renewal through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Follow God’s call at United.
