Sharefaith Magazine Top 20 Christian Seminaries

This magazine does not rank individual schools beyond saying each is among the top 20 Christian theological seminaries. The seminaries are listed in alphabetical order, but editors say they’ve done quite a bit of internal evaluation to arrive at a list of 20 institutions. “We’ve assembled a list that covers a broad spectrum,” Sharefaith’s CEO Hein van Wyk said when the list was released. “The Association of Theological Schools has more than 250 member schools in the United States and Canada, so narrowing it down can really help the search process.” Sharefaith provides church curriculum and ongoing training for pastors.
