The gospel has been handed down to all Christian peoples from the early church to today, and it is our honor to continue its stewardship, translation, and interpretation for a new generation.

At Portland Seminary, we value diversity of thought and backgrounds, which generates rich discussion in every class. Male and female professors of different ethnicities and theological backgrounds work together to raise up students who can competently contribute to the cross-denominational conversations that will shape the modern church.
