General Seminary is a vibrant community dedicated to theological education. Founded in 1817 as the first seminary of the Episcopal Church, General cherishes its history and traditions even as it embraces the challenges of preparing leaders for service in the church that is being born in our midst. At the heart of what it means to study at General is the powerful sense of being part of a worshiping scholarly community united by a commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our beautiful campus with its towering trees and inviting lawns is an island of peace and tranquility in the heart of New York City.  But General is also a place of challenging encounters with the deepest questions of life. Together our students and our teachers travel the path toward a deeper knowledge of God and of how to best use one's gifts in God's service. We hope our website will provide you an exciting look into the richness and diversity of the General Seminary community.
