In 1828, church leaders came together to form a seminary to train and educate pastors. From humble beginnings in Lexington, Georgia, to our first 100 years in Columbia, South Carolina, and a second century in Decatur, Georgia, Columbia Theological Seminary has faithfully trained leaders for the sake of the church and the world. As a celebration of the first day of classes on our Decatur campus, we are launching Ever Faithful Day on Thursday, September 19th. For nearly 200 years, ever faithful individuals and churches have supported our mission to form and equip leaders for Gods changing world. Because of faithful supporters--people like you--who know the importance of a world-class seminary education, Columbia Seminary is looking forward to teaching the next generation of church leaders.
