Union Presbyterian Seminary

Union Presbyterian Seminary Preparing people to be leaders of gospel-inspired transformative change in pursuit of a more just and compassionate world.

Grounded in the Reformed tradition, committed to inclusive, ecumenical learning, with campuses in Richmond, VA, and Charlotte, NC. Since its formation in 1812, Union Presbyterian Seminary has sustained the intention of its founders to provide education for Christian ministry that is scholarly, pastoral, and engaged with contemporary life. The seminary occupies a 56-acre campus in historic Ginter Park in Richmond's Northside, with classroom buildings, a mix of student housing options, landscaped grounds, and one of the finest theological libraries in the United States. The campus is on the national historic registry. Worship is held several times a week when classes are in session. Students organize and lead worship, with additional participation and leadership from faculty, alumni, and staff. In addition, the community participates in meals, formal and informal fellowship gatherings, lectures and discussions, community service opportunities, social events, and athletic programs. Students are encouraged to become involved in the life of local congregations. Union offers programs at a second campus in Charlotte, NC. The curriculum at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Charlotte is designed especially for second-career students who continue full or part-time work while pursuing theological study. The fellowship of the student cohorts along with the leadership and support of the faculty and staff is a particular strength of the program.
