St. Stephen Harding Theological College and Seminary

St. Stephen Harding, Theological College and Seminary

Our students come from many traditions and walks of life. Some prepare for Holy Orders, others for lay ministry, and still others simply seek a deeper understanding of the faith. All are welcomed with respect, supported with care, and guided with the conviction that God calls each person uniquely and lovingly.

The inclusion of Saint Seraphim School of Orthodox Theology within our College is a sign of our commitment to the unity and diversity of the Christian family. Orthodox students study alongside their brothers and sisters from other traditions, enriching the life of the College and witnessing to the beauty of shared learning grounded in mutual respect.

It is my prayer that this book will help you understand not only what we teach, but who we are — a community dedicated to forming hearts and minds for the service of Christ and His Church. May your reading be blessed, and may the peace of God accompany you in all your studies and in every step of your vocation.

In Christ’s love, Abbot Oscar Joseph, O.C.C.O. St. Stephen Harding Theological College and Seminary
