Exploring Theological Education as Discipleship: Summary & Conclusion

The education offered by Winebrenner Seminary has always played a role in the Christian discipleship process. However, over the past few years we’ve made an intentional shift to approach theological education as discipleship.  As a learning organization we are committed to growing in our understanding of our own commitments.

There’s so much more that is yet to be written about prioritizing discipleship in theological education.  One of the challenges is that most seminaries view themselves as “schools” and structure and prioritize functions that make them better schools.

InDepth is designed to be a space where we can reimagine theological education.  We’ll continue to explore ways in which we can be faithful to God’s call and fulfill our mission of equipping leaders for service in God’s kingdom.
