Reformed Anglican
Founded on ScriptureThe Reformed Episcopal Seminary was established in 1887 by evangelical Anglicans to provide formal theological education for those dedicated to ordained and lay Christian ministry.
RES holds to "the faith once delivered unto the saints," and declares its belief in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the Word of God, as the sole rule of Faith and Practice. Firmly AnglicanAs a founding member of the Anglican Church in America, the Reformed Episcopal Church and RES remain committed to the mission of the ACNA and the preservation of orthodox Anglicanism in the North America. We welcome students from every ACNA diocese and jurisdiction, confident that the God inspired spirit of truth, unity, and concord of the universal Church enhances the seminary experience.
