Fletcher Seminary is founded by administrators, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of the former Logsdon Seminary in Abilene, Texas. With more than 200+ years of experience in theological education, we are uniquely qualified to continue that legacy of academic excellence and practical preparation for ministry in the church and in the community and culture.

With its deep roots in the Baptist tradition, Colgate Rochester Crozer has been affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA) since its inception in 1819. Over the years, Colgate Rochester Crozer has evolved through significant mergers, including the Baptist Missionary Training School in 1961 and Crozer Theological Seminary in 1970. Today, it stands as the sole progressive seminary in the Western New York and Finger Lakes region, committed to preparing socially conscious leaders who make a difference through Christ-centered leadership and service.

The Baptist House of Studies (or the BHS) is a dedicated community of Baptist and Free Church students, staff, and faculty committed to learning, celebrating, challenging, and questioning what it means to be faithful in a modern context.

The BHS was envisioned and brought to life through the passion of Rev. Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles and Rev. Dr. George Mason. Seeking to support students from Baptist and other Free Church traditions within a Methodist seminary, they built a program and a community that helps students discern the shape of their call within the Baptist and Free Church traditions.
