Winebrenner Theological Seminary (WTS) is a private evangelical Christian seminary located in Findlay, Ohio and associated with the Churches of God, General Conference (CGGC). It was established in 1942 as a graduate school of theology of Findlay College (renamed The University of Findlay in 1989) and received its charter from the state of Ohio to become an independent, degree-granting institution in 1961. The seminary derives its name from the founder of the denomination, John Winebrenner, who established the group in 1830 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.[2]
WTS continues to serve the CGGC as its sole seminary in addition to students from at least 35 different other denominational backgrounds.
Winebrenner offers three masters programs: a Master of Divinity (MDiv), a Master of Arts in Practical Theology (MAPT), and a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling (MACC) program. Winebrenner Seminary also offers a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program and an Institute of Christian Studies (ICS).[3]
