Garrett’s Commitment
Garrett Seminary is deeply committed to forming courageous leaders in the way of Jesus to cultivate communities of justice, compassion, and hope for the thriving of the Church and the healing of the world.
LEARN ABOUT GARRETT
Celebrating over 170 years of preparing courageous spiritual leaders
For over 170 years we have prepared spiritually adventurous, intellectually daring, and deeply faithful leaders for service to the Church, the academy, and across cultures and settings. Over the course of that long history, much has remained constant—our Christian identity and purpose, our Methodist tradition and ethos, our ecumenical spirit and commitment, and our determination to form and equip servant leaders who are ready, willing, and able to lead courageously in challenging times.
Message from the President
Our History
Dr. Willie Jennings to Address 170th Commencement
Garrett Seminary is thrilled to announce that the Reverend Dr. Willie James Jennings will offer this year’s commencement address on Friday, May 8. He will also be recognized with an honorary degree for his groundbreaking scholarship and leadership in theological education. “We are honored to host a scholar who has rightly been labeled one of the world’s most transformational thinkers,” says Garrett President Javier A. Viera. “As students prepare for lives of ministry, scholarship, and public service, his work reminds us exactly what is at stake and calls the church to live into its fullest potential.”
