Theological Commitment to Diversity
At ATS, we affirm that diversity is a visible sign of God’s intention for humanity. This conviction shapes how we serve our member schools and how we build our team. We
value the many forms of diversity found in theological education, recognizing that each school is called to define and embody diversity in light of its unique mission, context, and
commitments. This also informs our workplace. We welcome colleagues with a wide range of lived experiences and perspectives, believing that such diversity is vital not only to theological
education, but to our shared life and work.
