Learn about WSC and our mission
Westminster Seminary California exists to glorify Christ, teach his gospel, and serve his church through graduate theological study. WSC is a Christian institution that offers instruction in biblical, theological, and ministerial disciplines to both men and women in seminary in order to help them develop intellectually and spiritually as leaders. While its primary focus is to educate and prepare men for ordained pastoral ministry, especially in Presbyterian and Reformed denominations, WSC also provides theological education to men and women who wish to serve the broader Christian community and society at large so that the whole body of Christ may be enriched through the diverse gifts bestowed by God’s Spirit.
