GarrettâEvangelical Theological Seminary (Garrett) is a private seminary and graduate school of theology related to the United Methodist Church and is ecumenical in spirit. It is located in Evanston, Illinois, on the campus of Northwestern University. The seminary offers master's- and doctoral-level degrees, as well as certificate, micro-credentialing, and lifelong learning programs. It has thousands of alumni serving in ministry, education, organizational leadership, and public service throughout the world.
GarrettâEvangelical is the result of the interweaving of three institutions:
GarrettâEvangelical is on the campus of Northwestern University and continues associations with the university. Both institutions were founded by the same Methodist clergy and laity in the mid-nineteenth century. Garrett has been an institution that specializes in preparing pastoral leaders for congregational leadership, and has also been a pioneer in preparing women for ministry and public leadership. [4]
GarrettâEvangelical and Northwestern University have a relationship that is 170 years old. Founders established both institutions to provide a learned clergy for an educated church, and learned citizenry for the rapidly growing and expanding "North West," as the Chicagoland area was then known. Over the decades, the institutions have shared resources, including courses, buildings, faculties, libraries, parking, technology, and in its earliest days a joint Board of Trustees.
The Chicago area boasts the greatest concentration of seminaries per capita of anywhere in the U.S. The Chicago area schools are organized into a cluster called The Association of Chicago Theological Schools. GarrettâEvangelical is one of the 11 member schools. The ACTS website states:
The oldest of Garrett's academic centers, it focuses on research, teaching, scholarship, leadership development, activism, spirituality, and the cultural impact and liturgical life of the black church, as well as centers the life, work and voices of black scholars, pastors and preachers, movement leaders, musicians, writers, poets, and artists.
Founded through the generosity of Mary Joy and Jerre L. Stead, the center draws together seminary resources, graduate professional schools, area religious leaders, and laity to address the compelling ethical issues facing contemporary society. The center engages in teaching and research on ethics and values by creating spaces for conversation, dialogues, and developing resources that enhance moral communities.
Established in 2012, the Rueben P. Job Institute for Spirituality and Spiritual Formation seeks to resource laity and clergy, as well as advance research and training in the fields of Spirituality and Spiritual Formation. Named in honor of a figure in the field of Christian spiritual formation, Bishop Rueben P. Job, a GarrettâEvangelical alumnus.
The CAAM focuses its efforts on creating community for and among Asian descent students, while also centering Asian descent scholarship in the academic life of the seminary. The center also engages in support of ministries with communities of Asian descent in the Chicagoland area and beyond.
Named for its benefactors, Ernest and Bernice Styberg, the institute is a research center in homiletics focused on improving and strengthening the art and practice of preaching. It accomplishes this work through research initiatives, workshops, and conferences.
The center provides resources and academic dialogues on critical issues for Hispanic-Latinx churches and communities addressing theological and practical aspects of ministry in cross-cultural contexts.
The Center for Ecological Regeneration provides opportunities for eco-theological research, education and formation.
