About Sophia Theological Seminary and Sophia Farms
Core Values
As an embodied community of learners committed to God as revealed in Jesus Christ, the Seminary assents to a set of core values, including:
- Life together in community will be marked by daily rhythms of study, worship, fellowship, and work.
- Being a community of inclusive welcome is foundational to the life, work, and self-understanding of the Seminary.
- Theological education is to be a holistic endeavor, undertaken with rigor, built upon a curriculum that is integrated across disciplines and that moves freely between “church” and “academy”.
- The community will exercise wise stewardship of capital resources, natural resources, and people.
- The community claims its heritage as little “b” baptist, understanding this heritage as historical, transcending specific denominational confines, and equally commits itself to ecumenical and interfaith work, locally and globally
