About Union Presbyterian Seminary

Set in Richmond's leafy Northside, Union Presbyterian Seminary pairs quiet study with the city's edge. The school is known for deep work in scripture, theology, ethics, preaching, and pastoral care, with an emphasis on real-world ministry. A gracious campus holds a chapel, a well regarded theological library, well equipped classrooms, and calm study nooks. Students find advising, vocational guidance, spiritual care, and family-friendly resources. The culture feels thoughtful and welcoming, rooted in a Reformed heritage yet open to many traditions.

Student life gathers around worship, discussion groups, service projects, and simple rhythms like coffee on the quad. Outdoor lovers slip to parks and the James River; arts fans head downtown. Career preparation runs through supervised field education, internships with congregations and nonprofits, and mentoring that draws on strong church and community ties. Richmond adds partners in education, health care, and public service. And there's a steady tradition here: learning that listens first, then leads.
