From Austin Seminary: "One extraordinary year"


2020 Master of Divinity graduate Jackie Freeman
Support the Class of 2020 and Beyond

So far 2020 has been a year filled with challenges for all, including those of us in the enterprise of teaching and learning how to lead Christ's church.

Our faculty, staff, and students turned on a dime over spring break to transition toward working from home and learning online. All of our events, including those dedicated to our fund-raising efforts, were cancelled. Graduation was postponed.

As our academic year comes to an end on June 30, we pause to celebrate our extraordinary faculty, staff, students, and alumni—acknowledging the myriad ways they are creatively and faithfully discovering new ways to be the church this world so desperately needs—now more than ever.

Thanks be to God. And thank you for your support.




For the glory of God and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary is a seminary in the Presbyterian-Reformed tradition whose mission is to educate and equip individuals for the ordained Christian ministry and other forms of Christian service and leadership; to employ its resources in the service of the church; to promote and engage in critical theological thought and research; and to be a winsome and exemplary community of God's people.

We hope that you are preparing the way for the Lord in your life as you read these meditations and prayers. And, we hope this Advent season is a meaningful one for you. Please know that Austin Seminary’s dedicated, diverse, and loving community of faith is not complete without you. Did you know?
