For nearly forty years, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary has equipped scores of men and women in North America to
serve the Armenian Church. Today, the Seminary remains at the cutting edge of Armenian theological education.
With its highly qualified faculty, and through its graduate degree and continuing education programs which are
designed to prepare and further equip leaders to serve the Church, the Seminary eagerly embraces the challenges
of the new millennium.
While its orientation is aimed at the future, the Seminary rests on a solid foundation, "that foundation is Jesus
Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:11). Informed by the Biblical and Ecclesial traditions, the Seminary is committed to
advancing the mission of the Armenian Church by edifying her faithful spiritually and by encouraging them to grow
in the understanding of our ancestral faith.
As you review this bulletin (whether in print or online at www.stnersess.edu) and visit our campus, I am confident
you will catch a glimpse of what makes St. Nersess unique in the Armenian Diaspora-and what makes it such an
exciting place to pursue theological education in conjunction with Armenian studies. A warm welcome and a special
challenge await you.

TAKE A MOMENT TO PRAY for our college students. May God protect them from danger and guide them in the decisions they make. May he fill them with his love and inspire them as they learn and grow.
