About the Biblical Seminary

Our Mission

Inspiring and equipping men and women to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve and lead in the church and in the world. 

The Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary is rooted in the anabaptist and evangelical traditions, and is the seminary of the Mennonite Brethren churches in the United States and Canada. Our programs emphasize biblical and theological reflection, personal and community formation, skill development and supervised experiential learning.

Our faculty combine academic excellence, dynamic Christian faith, and a strong commitment to warm and personal relationships. They bring many years of teaching and ministry experience in several cultures to their service, and invest themselves generously in student’s lives and growth.

Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary values local and global partnerships with congregations, Christian ministries, and theological schools, colleges and universities.

We welcome you to grow in the faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ with us!
