Considering Seminary?

With master's degrees, dual degrees and certificates, EMS offers theological education options that are relevant for your journey. Some students come to EMS on a clear pathway to traditional pastoral or chaplaincy vocations. Others want to study theology and religion but don't see themselves in traditional ministries. They are forming identities as activists, scholars, non-profit leaders and community builders.

Together, we are an ecumenical community of learning grounded in the Anabaptist tradition - a place to cultivate theological reflection, to discern and prepare for your vocation based on your unique gifts and calling.

EMS is deeply invested in student formation. 93% of EMS courses are taught by continuing (non-adjunct) faculty. Class sizes are small, with attention to each individual and the relationships we form. You can choose to attend courses on-campus in Harrisonburg, VA or synchronously online, participating in real time with professors and fellow students. Join us as we learn and grow together!
