History

Missio Seminary was founded in 1971 as the Biblical School of Theology by

Jack W. Murray, president of Bible Evangelism, Inc., and founder of the now-closed Clearwater Christian College, and Allan A. MacRae, a former president of Faith Theological Seminary, who served as the seminary's first president.[2][3] The former E.B. Laudenslager public school in Hatfield, Pennsylvania
, was renovated to house the new school. In 1978, the name was changed to Biblical Theological Seminary.

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and president of Reformed Theological Seminary

In October 2018, the seminary announced that it would rename itself from Biblical Theological Seminary to Missio Seminary.[5] In 2019, the seminary moved from its location in Hatfield to Center City, Philadelphia.[6][7] The move was complete by 2020.[8] In February 2023, the college announced a potential partnership with Kairos University.[9]

In July 2023, James retired from his role as President.[10] The board appointed Clarence E. Wright to serve as the seminary's fifth president and first African-American president.[10] Wright graduated from Missio (then Biblical Theological Seminary) with an M.A. in 2016 and M.Div. in 2017 and had served as a faculty member since 2020.[11]

Academics

The seminary received regional

accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in 1990[12] and from the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada in 1996.[13]

The seminary offers the

Master of Theology (Th.M.), and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees.[14]
Certificate programs are also offered, as well as online courses.

In addition to the school's regular full-time and part-time faculty, various prominent scholars have served as visiting professors or adjunct faculty, including Scot McKnight, D. A. Carson, Timothy Keller, and Peter Enns.
