Columbia Theological Seminary

Columbia Theological Seminary is one of the ten official seminaries of the Presbyterian Church (USA). It is located in Decatur, Georgia.

Columbia Theological Seminary was founded in 1828 in Lexington, Georgia, by several Presbyterian ministers. In 1830, it moved to Columbia, South Carolina. During the years before the American Civil War, Columbia was noted for its role in offering a Christian defense of slavery. The seminary moved to its current location in Decatur, Georgia, in 1928. As of 2005, the seminary enrolled 500 students in five degree programs and maintained a faculty of 36 women and men.
