You make our mission possible

One hundred and thirty-eight years ago, a Methodist layperson founded a theological school that has now equipped thousands of pastors, non-profit leaders, and professors to help change the world.  Nearly a century and a half later, Claremont School of Theology is at a place of urgency. Without your help, the mission of the only United Methodist seminary west of the Rocky Mountains may come to an end, and the only progressive seminary in southern California may close its doors.  We are asking you to join with us in giving to The Campaign for Claremont and help us continue teaching and equipping spiritual leaders, scholars, and teachers – as we have done since 1885.
