One hundred forty years ago, a visionary Methodist layperson founded a theological school dedicated to shaping leaders who embody compassion, justice, and belonging. Since its founding in 1885, Claremont School of Theology has equipped thousands of ministers, nonprofit leaders, and educators to bring transformative change to communities around the world. As the only United Methodist seminary west of the Rocky Mountains and a progressive seminary in Southern California, CST remains steadfast in its mission to prepare leaders for such a time as this. Your support helps us continue to teach and inspire spiritual leaders, scholars, and teachers who are called to make a difference in the world.
