Hands holding Bible

Scripture
 Ashland Theological Seminary believes God's saving revelation has been supremely made in Jesus Christ.  The Bible is the complete and authentic record of that revelation.  We are committed to both the Old and New Testaments as God's infallible message for the church and the world.  The Scriptures are foundational to the education process at Ashland Theological Seminary.

Spiritual Formation
Ashland Theological Seminary believes that Spiritual Formation is at the heart of all we do.  Spiritual Formation is the process of nurturing an intimate relationship with God, encompassing heart, soul, and mind.  Spiritual Formation is obedience to the Word of Christ and an intentional commitment to grow, study, pray, and be held accountable for our life and witness, both before God and one another.

Community
 Ashland Theological Seminary builds community through shared faith.  As students, staff, faculty, and administration, we identify ourselves as community.  We express community through Chapel, classes, Spiritual Formation groups, social events, conferences, prayer cells, and joint ministry experiences as we work and live together.  Within this environment of support and challenge, it is possible for us to grow inwardly, in our relationship with God and others, and in our outlook on the world.

Academic Excellence
Ashland Theological Seminary is committed to academic excellence.  While seminary education is unique, Ashland creates an atmosphere conducive to academic studies and sustains high scholastic standards from an internationally recognized faculty.  Integrated within our curriculum is the whole framework of the Seminary's Core Values leading to a goal of lifelong learning expressed through servant leadership.
