Why We Are Unique

Our Mission and Leadership

Urbana Seminary is an interdenominational ​graduate school of theology. We seek to be thoroughly Christ-centered and well-grounded on the strong foundation of God’s revealed Word, the Bible. God invites us to Himself and into His family through Jesus’ death on a cross and subsequent resurrection.  Our desire is that this good news be understood, laid hold of, and spread to everyone.

With every faculty member, there was an "aha!" moment where it dawned on me that their chosen curriculum and approach to learning was going to force me to wrestle and learn and think.
