Evangelical School of Theology is a graduate school of theology located in Myerstown, Pennsylvania. Evangelical School of Theology is the seminary of the Evangelical Congregational Church. It is also approved by the United Methodist Church to educate its candidates for ordained ministry. Evangelical School of Theology develops servant leaders for effective ministry in a broken and complex world by nurturing rigorous minds, passionate hearts, and Christ-centered actions.
The curriculum and program of Evangelical are designed to promote growth and development in accordance with the following core values of the seminary:
Holy Scripture, Spiritual Formation, Academic Excellence, Leadership Development, Evangelism and Discipleship, Global Engagement, Church and Society, Ecclesial Commitments, and Relationships and Family
Historically, the Seminary stands within the evangelical Wesleyan tradition of Protestant theology as set forth in the Twenty-Five Articles of Faith of the Evangelical Congregational Church. The Seminary is committed to meeting the ministerial training needs of the Evangelical Congregational Church. However, desiring to contribute to the larger Church, Evangelical considers it both a privilege and a responsibility to prepare students of other traditions.
