Jay Rundell - President of MTSO
Methodist Theological School in Ohio is a graduate professional school committed to academic excellence, spiritual vitality, engagement of Church and society, and a vibrant Christian faith.

It is clear that religion is a potent force in our world. Leaders who can integrate Christian theology and practice in a diverse and interfaith world are needed now more than ever. Seminaries that can identify and illuminate the intersections of Church, academy and society with balance and with integrity will be most relevant in shaping faith communities in the years to come. Methodist Theological School in Ohio is such a place. We strive to inspire and invigorate future religious leaders who can thoughtfully incorporate their experience of a changing world with the salient aspects of our various traditions and sacred texts. We have a passion for engaging both the mind and the heart in nurturing the spirit.

We are many kinds of people, gathered in community, committed to working collaboratively, believing that multiple perspectives and skills are crucial for the generative work that needs to take place in educational contexts. I invite you to consider what you could offer in such an environment and what you could gain from such an experience. Together, we can respond to God’s call to both serve and lead the Church and the world around us.
