Our Vision
Methodist Theological School in Ohio will be a center for rigorous theological inquiry, spiritual formation and professional development. Rooted in the scriptures and traditions of the Christian faith and committed to individual wholeness, social justice, inclusiveness, and religious diversity, we will prepare transformational leaders to engage the church and the world in leadership and service.

Our Purpose
Methodist Theological School in Ohio provides a vibrant learning environment for the preparation of skilled, passionate transformational leaders for churches, religious institutions, emerging faith communities and the wider world. We attend to the theological, spiritual, and vocational formation of a diverse group of students involved in a wide range of pursuits. Expecting active participation in our community of learning, we maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect and openness, teaching how to engage in conversation with the past and with others so that new and faithful perspectives may emerge. Our graduates demonstrate a deep understanding of the heritage disciplines of religious study, are highly competent in areas of practical theology, and show evidence of thoughtful reflection. We take seriously our responsibility for stewardship of the intellectual life of the church and our commitment to a just and sustainable world.
