Eastern Mennonite Seminary subscribes Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective, adopted by Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada in 1995.
See http://mennoniteusa.org/confession-of-faithEastern Mennonite Seminary (EMS) is the graduate theological school of Eastern Mennonite University (EMU). Beginning in 1964, EMS emerged when professors in Bible and theology recognized a need to train Anabaptist Mennonite pastors and leaders beyond undergraduate studies. For many decades, EMS specialized in this theological training for pastoral ministry.

EMS is distinctive in its location within a historic peace church and a world-renowned peace and justice university. Seminarians are alumni of the same university as such notable graduates as Leymah Gbowee, recipient of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. In 2022, EMS graduates had the honor of hearing Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy, give the commencement address at their graduation. We welcome you to discover your place as part of this dynamic community of learning at EMS!
