Westminster Theological Seminary

The founding of Westminster began in 1929 when J. Gresham Machen—who had spent 23 years as an esteemed scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary—resigned from his Princeton post. Princeton was the preeminent Reformed seminary of the day, but liberalism had been gaining a foothold there. Machen—and others who soon joined him—felt convicted to oppose theological compromise. Instead, these men chose obedience to the truth of the Bible and centrality of Christ. This came with a cost. Together they sacrificed jobs, status, legacy, and financial security. Machen was even stripped of ministry credentials by his church.

Nearly 100 years later, Westminster remains true to its founding mission: to train specialists in the Bible to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and his global church.
