Considering Seminary?
For those who are considering seminary, check out our Certificate in Christian Studies. Through our partnership with Gordon Conwell, students can begin taking seminary classes remotely through the Ridley Institute. Ridley has underwritten the cost in order to make it more affordable for individuals who wish to begin their seminary journey ($900 per 3-credit class). This semester, we will offer Historical Theology II, a general introduction to Christian theology in the Reformation, Post-Reformation and Modern era.
“Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament” Now Available for Streaming!
We have an ever-growing collection of streaming courses available for lay-level Christian Education. Our newest course, Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament, considers important themes in the Old Testament and how they point to Jesus. It helps participants gain a greater appreciation for the Old Testament as a rich resource of faith and an important way of treasuring Christ more dearly.

PROVINCIAL EVENTS
June 8-12, 2026
Trinity Anglican Seminary Ambridge, PA Christian Mission and Enlightenment Rationality
June Intensive – Week Two –
Course Description
Enlightenment critics of Christianity preached a myth of progress, whose reliance on reason, freedom, and mastery came to stamp modern secularism—but not before shaping Protestant accounts of reason, faith, and mission. This course grapples with the impact of what Lesslie Newbigin (1909–1998) called “the myth of a secular society” on Christian mission today.
Instructor: The Rev. Dr. Sam Fornecker
