Who We Are
At the Robert E. Cooley Theological Seminary, we seek to provide accessible, affordable, and innovative theological education to students from all over the world. Our professors form an affinity group that we call a cohort, which means they go to students rather than the other way around by Zoom and sometimes in person. This saves time and money for the students. As an Integrated Partner of Kairos University, we provide practical ministry learning resources, competency based theological education, localized mentoring, and student engagement support for students at Kairos University. This partnership also creates a path for interested and eligible Robert E. Cooley students to earn an ATS-accredited degree or certificate through Kairos University while staying connected to our emphasis on traditional orthodox Christian thought and incorporating modern technology and innovative strategies in order to thrive in today’s changing world. We also partner with churches and other ministries to strengthen our reach and depth.
