Throughout the world graduates of the Trevecca School of Religion are serving Christ and the Church faithfully as pastors, youth and children’s pastors, teachers, missionaries, evangelists, and administrative personnel.
The Trevecca School of Religion has a rich tradition, beginning with the earliest days of the University when J. O. McClurkan, founder of the University, sought to establish a “Bible Training School” for persons who were called to “missionary, evangelistic, and other branches of Christian work.”
Since those earliest days, such names as Greathouse, Wynkoop, and Dunning have contributed to the rich tradition that characterizes the School of Religion. For a century the Trevecca School of Religion has made great contributions to the ongoing dialogue within the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. Today seven full-time faculty and four adjunct faculty, along with more than 130 undergraduate majors and 40 graduate students continue to contribute to that dialogue as they prepare for ministry in the 21st century.
The commitment of the School of Religion is reflected in its mission statement:
Within the life and thought of the Trevecca Community, the School of Religion provides occasion for reflection upon the foundations, formation, and the Wesleyan vision of the historic Christian faith for living a reflective life of Christian service within the Church and society.
