Memphis Theological Seminary is a mid-sized higher education institution based in Memphis, Tennessee. It focuses on forming faith leaders through a blend of scholarship, spiritual formation, and a commitment to justice within a diverse, hospitable community. The seminary serves the church and broader world by preparing graduates for ministry and related chaplaincy and pastoral care work. In 2022 the institution expanded offerings with a Pre-Seminary Program to broaden access. The same year included the launch of in-person programming for the House of Black Church Studies and the appointment of the Rev. Dr. Johnny Jeffords as Director of the Center for Pastoral Wholeness and Chaplaincy Studies. These moves reflect ongoing collaboration and development in chaplaincy and pastoral care education.
