Seminary Requirements and Application
In order to be considered for seminary admission you must complete the applicant process and meet the requirements for admission. After receipt of the completed application, fee, and two letters of recommendation, one of our Deans will contact you for an interview.
We welcome all qualified adults who are at least 21 years of age , regardless of gender, gender identity, race, religion, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. All applications will be reviewed and every candidate will be carefully considered by the Deans of the Seminary. Acceptance into seminary will be based on the applicant’s background, emotional and spiritual maturity.
We consider the following qualities for admission:
A desire to be of service to others.
A recognition that there are many valid paths.
A desire to seek a deeper awareness of the Divine and grow spiritually.
Formal academic requirements are encouraged and applicants must be able to communicate, read, and write at a post-secondary educational level. Applicants are expected to be comfortable with technology, own a computer and be able to navigate ZOOM, Facebook, Word Programs, and the Internet.
Building a spiritual community is an important part of the seminary experience and therefore attendance in person at all classes is expected.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate the ability to function as part of a spiritual community and this requires a certain level of commitment to emotional and spiritual integrity, honest communication, and ethical behavior.
