An Expanded Modern Facility

In Fall 2024, Reformed Episcopal Seminary moved to its new campus in Oreland, Pennsylvania. Conveniently located in the Philadelphia suburbs, the new campus will provide an architecturally inspiring chapel, spacious classrooms, new library and study facilities, a comfortable common room, a gymnasium, and outdoor recreation areas.

Located just a few minutes from Glenside train station, the new campus is within 20 minutes of downtown Philadelphia, allowing students and faculty to visit the city's wide array of cultural and entertainment venues, universities and libraries, restaurants and shops. 

Reformed Anglican

Founded on Scripture

The 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 Anglican

As 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.

Faithful to Tradition

Throughout its history, Reformed Episcopal Seminary has distinguished itself as:
​

• Biblical – built upon the foundation of the authoritative Word of God and setting our highest priority on biblical worship.
• Catholic – affirming the faith of the apostles and of the early creeds, while also rejoicing with those everywhere who confess Christ Jesus as Lord.
• Protestant – holding to the English Reformation doctrines of the primacy of Scripture and Justification by grace through faith.
• Ecumenical – welcoming students from a variety of church groups and backgrounds and declaring our commitment to the work of evangelism.
• Anglican – holding to the worship, doctrine, and order of the English Reformation.

The Reformed Episcopal Seminary upholds the authority and doctrine contained in the Holy Scriptures, the Creeds, the Ecumenical Councils, the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, and the Book of Common Prayer.
