Serving as teacher-scholars and serving the church

On any given Sunday, you’ll find Candler faculty across the Atlanta area serving as leaders in their congregations, Sunday School teachers, part-time pastors, or simply as church members immersed in Christian community. On other days, they’re leading conferences and workshops, delivering lectures, conducting Bible studies, and writing denominational position papers and doctrinal statements to expand knowledge of theology and religion, deepen spiritual life, and strengthen the public witness of the church.

What makes our faculty so special?

It’s a combination unique in theological education—they value scholarship, teaching and serving the church in equal measure. Some theology schools rank scholarship over church, others emphasize church over scholarship. Faculty at Candler value both—and teach in a way that reflects those commitments.
