Truett Seminary

The Bridges to Belonging project is equipping congregations across Central Texas to more fully welcome youth and young adults (ages 13–25) facing disabilities, mental health challenges, and chronic illnesses. In its first year, the project has begun sparking dialogue and fostering new relationships among local churches, all aimed at making congregations more accessible, inclusive, and truly representative of the body of Christ.

The Program for the Future Church (PFFC) at Truett Seminary is building pathways for congregations and Christian leaders to step into the future through three programmatic areas: convening, contextual research, and curriculum.

Over the last three years, the PFFC has regularly and purposefully gathered pastors and teams of ministry leaders through 32 convenings that have engaged more than 500 individuals and cultivated meaningful connections with 30 congregations and organizations that resource congregations. 

As we celebrate International Education Week alongside Baylor University, we invite you to learn more about alumnus, John Slosted. As a Master of Divinity graduate from Truett Seminary in 2020, John is living on mission in Hong Kong as a youth pastor at an English-speaking international church. 

Learn more about John, discover how his training at Truett equipped him to serve where he is, and hear the advice he gives to anyone who is thinking about serving the church internationally. 

The TEFJ Program at Truett Seminary regularly holds classes at the World Hunger Relief Farm where seminary students physically and practically learn about creation care. Modeling creation care through a course taught at The Farm, the TEFJ Program is helping students reimagine the interaction God's people have with God's land.
