Western Theological Seminary (WTS) is a professional and graduate school in Holland, Michigan affiliated with the Reformed Church in America.
The seminary (officially named "The Western Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in America") was founded in 1866 to fill a need for theological education on the (then) western frontier of the Reformed Church in America. In its theological identity, Western Theological Seminary is evangelical, ecumenical, and Reformed. Western Theological Seminary prepares students for ministry often involving ordination (many in the Reformed Church in America), as well as for further graduate study, chaplaincy, missions, youth ministry, social service ministry, etc. Although WTS is affiliated with the Reformed Church in America, it is ecumenical in scope and it educates students from other denominations, including but not limited to: The Christian Reformed Church, The United Church of Christ, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and The Presbyterian Church (USA).
The current president is the Rev. Dr. Timothy Brown.
