UCC Theological Education

These graduate schools and programs in theology play an important role in the preparation of pastoral leaders for the United Church of Christ:

• The six seminaries of the United Church of Christ have been recognized by the General Synod for their special commitment to the UCC.
• The historically related seminaries, some engaging as members of the UCC Council for Higher Education, continue to serve the church in ecumenical settings.
• The Regional Theological Education Consortium, a hub for multiple models of theological education, connects UCC conference and association based programs which have as part of their goals the formation of Members in Discernment toward authorized ministry, as well as a commitment to lay theological education.
