The Seattle School prepares artists, pastors, therapists, counselors, and entrepreneurs to be leaders, healers, and culture-shapers. Training comes in many different forms. Whether you are ready for an immersive graduate degree program, interested in short but intensive certificates or weekend conferences, or just looking for brief, focused evening lectures, we offer programs to fit your needs and schedule.
Brief seasons of study, lifelong transformation
Reconstruct a theology that you can live with
The stories that shape how we see God—and how we live in response—are always contextual. The Certificate in Living Theology is a one-year graduate-level program that invites you to explore the historical, cultural, and social formations of Christian theology within a deeply relational learning community.
Fresh, contextual lenses for interpreting the Bible
For those interested in transforming their biblical engagement and influence, our Certificate in Scripture & Society is a psychologically-informed program that brings the Bible into conversation with local contexts. Participate in live, interactive sessions led by theological scholars and practice cultivating a mindset of observation, openness, and curiosity while exploring methods of interpreting Scripture.
World-class training in trauma recovery with Dr. Dan Allender
The Allender Center is a training and transformation hub for pastors, therapists, lay counselors, and community leaders to understand their own stories in order to more deeply enter the lives of those they are called to love and serve, especially in the area of trauma and abuse recovery. From intimate hands-on workshops to large-scale conferences, we offer a variety of training opportunities, all developed by Dr. Dan Allender and the Allender Center Teaching Staff.
Equipping leaders and teams to awaken social change.
Leading communities in the midst of a changing and fragmenting culture can result in exhaustion, overwhelm, and disillusionment—or in shared hope, endless abundance, and regenerative action. We need to change the way we engage one another. We need transformation.
Transformative learning in every season
Personal transformation can happen in small doses at any point in your life. The Seattle School welcomes the public to engage in a range of learning opportunities. Take in a three-day conference, get deep into a weekend workshop, attend an evening lecture, or sit in on a class.
