Celebrate Legacy,
Inspire Tomorrow.
Your partnership forms leaders
for a changing Church and a hopeful world.
At Bexley Seabury Seminary, your support helps form both lay and ordained leaders through innovative and accessible theological education and formation rooted in the Anglican tradition.
As The Seminary Beyond Walls, our model of theological education allows students to pursue rigorous study while remaining rooted in their ministries and communities.
From our home at the Episcopal Diocesan Center in downtown Chicago, we serve a nationwide community of students, faculty, and ministry partners.
Fully accredited by the Association of Theological Schools, Bexley Seabury prepares leaders to serve the Church with wisdom, imagination, and faithful commitment.
When you give, you help prepare leaders who will serve the Church for generations to come.
“The people who are attracted to a place like Bexley Seabury are creative and imaginative, and are actively engaged in thinking about what the church will look like in the future.”
— The Rev. Cody Maynus ’19, Diocese of Minnesota

Every gift — no matter the size — is a partnership in the future of our shared work.
“My time at Bexley Seabury expanded the length and breadth and height and depth of my priesthood. It stretched my mind, strengthened my vocation, and rooted me more deeply in the Anglican tradition I cherish.”
