The SFTS Experience

An exceptionally close-knit community

• Experience the formational power of a residential Christian community; living as neighbors and friends with other seminarians, faculty, and their families.

• Develop life-long friendships with a diverse range of future colleagues in ministry.

• Benefit from a substantial alumni support system that will continue to sustain you throughout your ministry journey.

• Share your joys, disappointments, dreams, and aspirations with co-travelers on the journey of faith.

• Learn and grow in an authentic, transforming Christian community of mentors, colleagues, and friends

Flexible program formats

• Choose the degree or certificate program that best fits your stage in life.

• Select from two locations and educational formats: the Northern California (San Anselmo) campus, which focuses on full-time residential formation for ministry while also welcoming commuter students, or the Southern California (Pasadena) campus, which serves working adults who require an evening and Saturday commuter program.

• Discover the rich variety of community life available through campus activities developed by and for students and their families.

• Fulfill your goals with a program that can be customized to match your needs

Extraordinary campus locations

• Access incredible cultural, recreational, educational, and professional opportunities in close proximity to each campus.

• Enjoy living minutes from pristine beaches, rugged mountains, and beautiful wild spaces.

• Discover why the Pacific Rim/ San Francisco Bay Area is called the “global gateway” and why the Los Angeles area is known as a microcosm of the entire world.

• Enjoy access to excellent public schools in communities with a wide variety of cultural resources, but close enough to places of great need to continue to make a difference.

• Learn to appreciate and respond to the needs of the diverse congregations you will serve
