The John Leland Center for Theological Studies , known as Leland Seminary, is a nondenominational theological institute in the Baptist tradition based in Arlington County, Virginia , with several satellite locations elsewhere in Virginia .[1] Leland is partnered with the Baptist General Association of Virginia [2] and the District of Columbia Baptist Convention ,[3] though the center has ties with a range of denominations and churches.[4] Leland is a member of the Washington Theological Consortium .[5]
The center's namesake, John Leland , was an 18th- and 19th-century Baptist minister in the United States who was a proponent of the separation of church and state [4] and an opponent of theological seminaries.[6] : 235
History [ edit ]
At a 1997 Baptist World Alliance meeting, several Baptist leaders discussed developing the Washington Metropolitan Area 's first Baptist seminary.[7] [8] These individuals resolved to create the center which began offering classes the next year.[7] [8]
Randel Everett, the center's first president, stepped down in late 2006.[4] [9] Mark J. Olson became Leland's second president in 2007.[10] In 2019, William H. Smith became Leland's president.[11]
Academics [ edit ]
The seminary is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS).[12] [13] The seminary offers the following ATS-approved degrees: Master of Divinity , Master of Christian Leadership, and Master of Theological Studies .[12] [14] The seminary also offers several graduate certificates .[15] [1]
Leland's School of Ministry offers the center's undergraduate -level courses, including a diploma in theology program.[16] Students seeking a bachelor's degree may be able to transfer credit from the School of Ministry into two Bluefield College Bachelor of Arts degree programs.[17] [18]
