President's Greeting President's Greeting Welcome to the web page of Bangor Theological Seminary. Here you will be able to explore the richness of Bangor's long history and present life, the exceptional quality of its faculty and curriculum, and the opportunities it provides for learning and growth. This theological school is affiliated with the United Church of Christ and it is, at the same time, ecumenical in every way as it prepares men and women for the ministries of the church.
Students come from all over the country and from other parts of the world.
At the same time the school takes seriously its mission to serve its own region, the vast region of northern New England where churches in need of leadership abound. With a recently established campus in Portland, Maine, and ambitious programs in Vermont and New Hampshire, its degree programs and continuing education programs are easily accessible. Accessibility is enhanced by the increasing use of computer technology in many of the courses that are offered. The education provided by Bangor Seminary prepares students for ministry in every kind and size of church. Beyond that, it is one of the few theological schools in the country to be in a position to provide expert guidance in the leadership of small churches where students may serve as they learn.
