The Ralph and Cheryl Schregardus Friendship House
In 2007, the Friendship House at Western Theological Seminary became the first seminary housing of its kind. Friendship House is a pod-style apartment complex where 18 students live alongside six young adults with cognitive and physical disabilities. We at Western Theological Seminary would be diminished without the presence of our Friendship House Fellows. They have enriched the lives of seminarians and given us a deeper appreciation of all people and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.

Meet the Faculty
Western faculty are widely published and academically distinguished, with doctoral degrees from the likes of Duke, Harvard, and Princeton. As importantly, our professors are deeply involved in congregational ministry – and several offer the unique perspectives of having served as pastors. With a 14:1 student to professor ratio, Western students have the opportunity to connect personally with their professors both in the classroom and outside of it.
