The Austin Graduate School of Theology is a seminary associated with the Churches of Christ, which exists to promote knowledge, understanding, and practice of the Christian faith.

Its mission is to educate individuals and edify churches in the understanding and practice of the Christian faith and to equip ministers and other Christians for service in the Kingdom of God.

purpose

Austin Grad discharges its mission through a variety of programs and activities. Courses of study provide instruction for those preparing for service as ministers, missionaries, or other vocations, as well as for university students and other interested persons who may not wish to pursue a degree. Seminars and lecture series provide continuing education for churches and church leaders. Publications incorporating faculty research extend the services of Austin Grad to a wider audience. Regular occasions for community worship, such as chapel services, place all of these programs and activities in a context of commitment to the glory of God.
