Faculty

United Theological Seminary has a faculty of outstanding teachers and scholars who have deep roots in the church. Faculty members are excellent teachers who maintain that excellence. They have earned national and international reputations for their contributions to research and writing, as well as participation and leadership in professional societies. They are involved in national church forums, dialogues, and committees and serve on editorial boards, boards of social service agencies, and arts organizations. In ways large and small, they impact contemporary theological education and are recognized as committed teachers and scholars of the church.

The regular faculty consists of ten women and five men. Five are members of the United Church of Christ, four are Presbyterian, two are United Methodist, one is Roman Catholic, and one is Episcopalian. Adjunct faculty represent a broader array of Christian denominations and include members of the Unitarian Universalist and Jewish faith traditions.
