Perkins School of Theology is one of the 13 seminaries of The United Methodist Church (and one of only five university-related United Methodist theological schools), located in the heart of Dallas, Texas, with an extension program in Houston/Galveston.

The faculty and staff of Perkins are committed to our mission of preparing women and men for leadership in the church of Jesus Christ. Students study with a faculty, diverse both culturally and in theological perspective, in the school's graduate degree and certificate studies programs. Practical internships integrate classroom learning with hands-on ministry, and the world-renowned Bridwell Library offer  theological resources for pastors and scholars unrivaled in the southwestern United States. Faculty and practicing clergy also work together to offer continuing education for clergy and laity, as well as other programs such as The United Methodist Church's Course of Study School for local pastors.

Whether your vocation is as preacher, teacher, musician, youth leader, missionary, deacon or committed layperson, the faculty and staff of Perkins will work with you to gather the resources—spiritual, intellectual and financial—that will enable you to answer your special calling.
