Value of the Truett Seminary Experience
At Truett Seminary, residential learning is more than just attending classes—it is about immersing yourself in a formative, relational, and spiritually enriching community that shapes your calling and prepares you for a lifetime of ministry.
With three campus locations—Waco, Houston, and San Antonio—Truett offers a comprehensive approach to theological education, where students learn together, worship together, and grow together in a supportive and academically rigorous environment. Our emphasis on in-person learning fosters deep relationships with faculty and peers, provides hands-on ministry opportunities, and integrates theological study with spiritual formation.
The value of a Truett education extends beyond the classroom, it is also found in the mentorship of professors, vibrant community life, and the practical ministry experiences that equip you for service. We invite you to experience Truett Seminary, where life together shapes our mission and strengthens our impact.
