Mission Statement:

Hartford Seminary serves God

By teaching, research, informing the public and engaging persons in dialogue;

By affirming the particularities of faith and social context while openly exploring differences and commonalities

About Us:

Hartford Seminary’s influence reaches far beyond the walls of churches, mosques and synagogues. Its work strengthens the moral character of society. By developing the leadership capacities of religious leaders and the wider public, the Seminary directly affects the cities, towns and rural areas where these leaders live. Armed with renewed vigor and dedication to their work, Hartford Seminary students and program participants return to their communities with a new wholeness, a new sense of the possibility of a humane world, and the practical skills to bring about that vision. Hartford Seminary nurtures and matures individual spiritual growth.

Beyond the individual, Hartford Seminary also strengthens religious communities through its programs of research and education. By studying and sharing information, it enables local faith communities to remain strong.
