Columbia Theological Seminary

Columbia Theological Seminary exists to educate and nurture faithful, imaginative, and effective leaders for the sake of the Church and the world. We are becoming a place of welcome, hospitality, justice, and belonging, equipping a new generation of pastoral leaders to step into ministry in every context to which God calls them.

Columbia Theological Seminary’s enrollment is growing, and it is home to a diverse student body. Our students range in age from 20-something to 60-plus. While many are from the southeastern United States, others are drawn from all corners of the world. 

Columbia offers six graduate degrees including master's and doctoral level degree programs, as well as continuing education courses, certificates and events as a resource for church professionals and lay people through the Center for Lifelong Learning. Columbia Theological Seminary will launch a redesigned Master of Divinity (MDiv) curriculum in Fall 2027, introducing a 77-credit degree with three pathways — including a new intensive two-year MDiv option.

Columbia has a tree-lined 57-acre campus with green-certified buildings, a conference center, and playing fields and gardens that are open to our community neighbors. The campus is just east of the Atlanta Beltline and six miles from downtown Atlanta in Decatur, GA and is across the street from Decatur’s largest park. The City of Decatur is home to more than 200 restaurants, shops, and local attractions, and its historic, vibrant downtown area is on the MARTA rail line.

Columbia is an educational institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Established in the Reformed tradition, we are an ecumenical school hosting a large table for people of all denominational backgrounds.
