Meet our Faculty
The faculty—the heart of the educational experience at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary—further our tradition of academic excellence through teaching, research, publication, and service to the church. They represent six Christian traditions, and most of them are ordained or have served as pastors. A low student-to-faculty ratio encourages interaction and facilitates mentoring relationships in our community of scholars.
Devoted to preparing students for a wide variety of Christian ministries, our faculty members bear witness to the gospel throughout their professional and personal lives. They are regular contributors to scholarly knowledge through their publications and participation in learned societies on six continents. They frequently preach and teach in congregations and universities locally, nationally, and internationally. In these ways, the faculty at Pittsburgh Seminary enrich the learning of all our students both on and off our campus.
