Northeastern Seminary
An integrated theological formation that imparts wholeness to the world
Our fully online or in-person courses allow flexibility for working adults to answer questions about who God is calling them to be.
At Northeastern Seminary I was able to connect with classmates from different geographical locations and see how our heart beats for the same mission. Although we are in different denominations, different walks of life, and different contexts of ministry, we all share a common heart to see our world revived in Christ.
Where your passion and your calling meet
At Northeastern Seminary, you will deepen your understanding of Scripture and connect it with your God-given passion to serve your community. You receive an accredited theological education that is built on the solid foundation of the Gospel and tailored to support your unique calling to Christian ministry. Courses incorporate a deep sensitivity to spiritual direction, which equips you to bring understanding and a new vision to your path in Christian ministry and leadership.
Through a flexible curriculum, you can earn a seminary degree through fully online coursework or at our campus located at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York.
