Appointment standards
Who is permitted to teach.
Faculty do not only hold degrees. They hold the seminary’s confession and answer to its published academic standards.
Affirmation of the Statement of Faith
Every appointment affirms the ten articles and the ecumenical creeds. Doctrine here is taught from inside the confession, not merely about it.
Terminal qualification in the field
Faculty hold a doctoral or equivalent qualification in the discipline they author, and are appointed by the Academic Dean on the recommendation of the Faculty Senate.
Ministry experience, not only academic
Those who write pastoral and homiletical material have carried pastoral responsibility themselves. The seminary does not teach ministry from theory alone.
Accountability to published standards
Course outcomes, question banks, and pass marks are all published. Faculty work is reviewed against them by the Assessment Committee rather than held privately.
Faculty work
Where the teaching actually reaches you.
This is a competency-based seminary, so faculty influence arrives through what they write and what they set, rather than through a lecture hall.
Degree plans
Every pathway requirement group, credit weight, and learning outcome is authored and reviewed by faculty in the discipline.
Examination banks
The question banks behind every qualifying examination are written, audited for quality, and published into pathway-specific browser banks from the authoritative examination corpus.
Prior-learning review
Documented ministry service and previous study are read against published outcomes by faculty reviewers, and what is accepted is recorded.
Curriculum revision
Reading, sources, and course descriptions are revised on a regular cycle so the published plan matches what is actually assessed.
