Ecumenical Theological Seminary

Ecumenical Theological Seminary Ecumenical Theological Seminary (ETS) is an urban-based accredited seminary in the heart of the City of Detroit.

Who we are:

ETS is a fully accredited ecumenical seminary committed to providing the best theological education in southeastern Michigan while remaining rooted in Detroit. We offer several degree programs in ministry as well as a certificate program theological studies and an urban ministry diploma. We are committed to embracing the diversity found in our city and suburbs and to transcend the bou

ndaries typical in such a setting in order to overcome alienation and help build bridges between our city and its suburbs. What we do:

We train students to become effective church and lay leaders for the 21st century church, through a course of study which emphasizes the centrality of Christian ethics and social justice ideals. ETS encourages students to begin their training with a course in church and society, whose purpose is to examine how social position provides the foundations for beliefs and values. We provide opportunities for students to practice their beliefs within urban ministry settings, and to work with an outstanding faculty of academic and church leaders who serve as mentors for the journey.

Fall Emergent Week is officially in the books.

If you know, you know — "Trust the Process" isn't just a phrase around here. It's the mantra that gets every ETS doctoral student through the readings, the writing, the late nights, and the moments you didn't think you'd make it to the other side.

Whether it's through the rigors of last week, or through the whole D.Min journey - YOU MADE IT! Now wear it.

We are excited to celebrate our 49th Annual Fall Convocation

Ecumenical Theological Seminary is excited to announce our 49th Annual Fall Convocation, marking the official start of a new academic year for our students, faculty, and staff.

🗓️ Thursday, August 20, 2026 at 6:00 PM

📍Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, The Charles A. Hill Chapel — 18700 James Couzens Fwy, Detroit, MI 48235

This year we are happy to have Rev. Dr. Aaron Chapman, Pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in Southfield, MI, as our guest speaker. Dr. Chapman brings decades of pastoral leadership and academic excellence. In addition to being a noted preacher and scholar, he is also the author of several books on preaching, including "Preaching Matters" and "I'm Called to Preach... Now What?"

Convocation is a sacred moment for our ETS community — a time to re-dedicate ourselves to our shared mission, seek God's guidance over the work ahead, and hear a timely word for the Church and the world.

Join us! All are welcome!
