At Westminster Seminary California, we believe in the
inspiration, authority and sufficiency of God's Word—holding
that the living and active Word of God is still the greatest
need of the world today. Therefore, we are committed to
training faithful pastors, preachers and missionaries who
will rightly divide and proclaim the Word of truth—bringing
God's Word to God's people and thus equipping the body of
Christ to carry the Gospel of Christ into the world.
