Institutional Goals and RelationshipsHISTORICAL PERSPECTIVEAnderson University was established in 1917 as Anderson Bible Training School. The institution’shistory and development, which led to its university status, established the school’s importance in Christianhigher education in America. The School of Theology and Christian Ministry is part of that development. In1950, a graduate division was established for the advanced professional preparation of ministerial students.This graduate seminary of the Church of God (Anderson, Ind.) is now contained within the AndersonUniversity School of Theology and Christian Ministry.The Anderson University School of Theology and the Department of Religious Studies combinedunder a new designation, the Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry in 2016. Eachdepartment continues to provide direction for its students under the direction of the dean of the school. Thiscatalog represents the curriculum of the graduate division of this new entity.Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry affirms its relationship with both itsparent university and the reform movement known within the Christian community as the Church of God(Anderson, Ind.). As the graduate seminary of the Church of God, Anderson University School of Theologyand Christian Ministry is committed to the biblical essentials of Christian holiness and Church unity, whichhave been hallmarks of the movement’s message for more than a century. Honoring the entire Christianheritage, Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry aspires to be biblical in orientation,missional in emphasis, and relational in spirit.The seminary of the Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry achieved fullaccreditation by the Association of Theological Schools in 1965.

Morrison in the late1940s, Robert H. Reardon was a strong advocate for the establishment of aChurch of God seminary in Anderson, Ind. In 1950, the vision became realitywith the founding of an Anderson School of Theology. Reardon was a chartermember of the graduate faculty, and along with others, he contributed manybooks from his personal collection to start the seminary library.— Robert Reardon, president of Anderson University from 1958 to 1983.Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry Graduate Catalog, 2016-20177

The president of the institution is accountable to thisboard for general administration of the university and seminary, including their development, maintenance,and programs. The president of the university is ratified by the General Assembly for five-year terms.An executive committee — consisting of the president and seven trustees elected by the board — acts onbehalf of the full university board between its scheduled meetings. The dean of the School of Theology andChristian Ministry participates in Seminary Committee of the the board, a six-member committee that givesparticular attention to the policies, personnel, and programs of the seminary.The faculty of the seminary operates under a grant of powers by the trustees and the administration.Within the spirit and intent of stated seminary objectives, the faculty is responsible for maintaining theacademic programs of the seminary at their maximum effectiveness.INSTITUTIONAL FOCUSThe School of Theology is a community dedicated to scholarship,spirituality, and service. The scholarship emphasis seeks to encourage andequip individuals in their quest for knowledge of the content and meaningof the Scriptures and the historical development of the Christian churchand its faith, always promoting academic excellence in the pursuit of truth.The emphasis on spirituality facilitates spiritual growth, the formation ofdistinct Christian values, and the integration of self within the pattern of agodly life that makes ministry meaningful and honest. The service emphasisencourages active participation in ministry and sharing, imperative forChristian life and witness.Raising leaders: Training ministers for service to a needy worldWith students coming from diverse backgrounds, we needed not only tomaintain the ethos of our movement’s life, but to share it with them. We notonly needed to prepare competent leaders for churches, but to help our studentsbe received as creative and credible moral voices in a society woefully lackingin integrity and a sense of values. We realized we could help them best throughaccenting scholarship, spirituality, and service.— James Earl Massey, dean of the seminary from 1989 to 1995.8Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry Graduate Catalog, 2016-2017
