The Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology of Virginia Union University is a center of convergence where things come together: head and heart; preparation and praise; church and academy; pulpit and pew; scholarship and spirituality; reflection and action. In this place of intersection, minds are stretched, excellence is pursued, gifts are cultivated and people are transformed. In an environment that feels like family and affirms the intrinsic worth of all, we educate in a manner that fosters a commitment to life-long learning, genuine service, and holistic liberation. We strive to send forth capable and empowered persons who have been inspired by both the acquisition of academic knowledge and skills and a renewed sense of self and spirit. While celebrating our heritage and culture, we seek to serve the world and while honoring traditions, we encourage creativity and unfettered imagination. At STVU, we worship authentically, study diligently, practice faithfully and dream deeply.

Engaging in the theological enterprise at STVU is exciting and challenging and your presence and participation in our community of reverent scholars is welcomed.
