Portland Seminary had a productive and successful visit with the ATS Evaluation Committee this week. Their feedback and formal recommendations were highly encouraging, and we now look ahead to receiving the final decision from the ATS Board of Commissioners in June 2026. Thank you to the Evaluation Committee for their insight and encouragement!

The questions facing the church today are complex. Our new DMin in Faith and Cultural Engagement provides the space to find answers.
