Welcome to the Western Seminary / ACSI Northwest Connection

Western Seminary is honored to support the mission and ministry of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) in the Pacific Northwest. Serving churches and parachurch ministries in the northwest for almost 80 years, Western Seminary is committed to partnering in meaningful ways with ministries who share our passion for Christ, for His Word, and for the equipping of the saints of God for mission. We have long recognized the incredible contribution ACSI, their member schools, teachers and administrators have made to the cause of Christ through the effective preparation of young men and women for a lifetime of service and relationship with Him.

Here is what the Western Seminary / ACSI connection means to you...

New Educational Opportunities for ACSI Teachers and Administrators
Western recognizes the challenges of pursuing an accredited degree program while serving in ministry. That is why we have introduced a new 60-hour Master of Arts in Specialized Ministry degree program specifically for men and women who are currently serving at least half-time in ministry.

This unique program uses a creative combination of accelerated campus intensives and distance education courses that make it possible for a student to complete the degree program in just over three years...and without relocating to a Western Seminary campus. And as a member of ACSI, you will receive a 25% discount on your tuition for graduate credit study!

For more information about this and other Western Seminary programs, please contact James Stewart at the Western Seminary Center for Lifelong Learning 503-517-1898 or 800-893-8567.
