Christian Greetings!

This website is created with the intention of sharing with you some information about the Walla Walla University School of Theology. Whether you are merely curious or considering attending Walla Walla University, or have already begun your schooling here, this website can be of considerable help in assisting you in understanding what the School of Theology is all about.

As you look through the website, you will find described in some detail our mission, the goals of the Department, the many academic offerings and programs of the School, as well as short, biographical sketches of the faculty. There is an appointment calendar you should pay attention to, particularly if you decide to enroll, and you will find a listing of the various academic requirements for the degrees we offer. You will also find information on how students and faculty work together toward achieving our goals and mission.

Let me encourage you in your interest and possible quest for a solid biblical and theological education. These are exciting and challenging times for those contemplating ministry and its allied professions. Throughout the Adventist Church in North America, there is a growing and urgent need for qualified, well-prepared men and women to evangelize, fill pastoral vacancies, plant churches, counsel, and teach. If God is calling you to be among these, it would be our privilege to help guide and instruct you.

It is my sincere hope and prayer that you will be able to find your way through the maze of classes, courses, and academic requirements to a Christian higher education that both challenges you and confirms your faith.

Sincerely, in hopes of the Kingdom
