Enduring Charisms
The Unique Gifts of Northeastern Seminary at Roberts Wesleyan University
"Individually, each of these approaches to theological education can be found in many seminaries and theological schools. But taken together as a whole, these five enduring charisms are a constellation of educational commitments that make a Northeastern Seminary education truly unique. Those who are formed by the constellation of these five enduring charisms are distinctively prepared for ministry on behalf of the church and the world. They are immersed in the Holy Scriptures, grounded in the central teachings of Christ’s church, and spiritually prepared to bring the Gospel of Christ to bear on the constantly changing contexts of contemporary culture."
