Seminary, Community, & Calling

Featured Program: MA in Theological Studies

Come and Behold offers a Master of Arts in Theological Studies designed to equip women with rigorous theological training, spiritual formation, and a biblical understanding of womanhood. This graduate program is academically rich, biblically grounded, and spiritually transformative — preparing women for ministry, research, and theological scholarship while recovering and amplifying the voices of women in Scripture, church history, and theological discourse. We believe that women have always been central to God's redemptive story. Through this program, the seminary equips the next generation of women to engage deeply in theology, lead with wisdom, and shape the future of Christian scholarship. Those interested in advancing their theological education and stepping into their calling can apply now or request more information.

A Gendered Approach to Education

There is a company of women globally, who are seeking true biblical femineity, an education that supports their calling, and a community who believes in God's design for women. The long-term result of removing gendered curriculum has also removed the specifities women need in their walks of life. It removed both the beauty and challenges of what makes us different from men. A women's seminary stands on the simple truth that God purposefully calls women and our yes to that call is essential in our societies and communities.

Looking for more? Our Certificate Pathways are Stackable and Focused on Calling

The MATS is a graduate degree designed to equip women for theological scholarship, Spirit-led ministry, and deep spiritual formation. Rooted in biblical orthodoxy and a gendered lens, this program serves women from diverse undergraduate backgrounds who desire to grow in theological depth, vocational clarity, and biblical literacy. For women who want to go deeper in a specific area — or who aren't ready for a full degree — our four stackable certificates offer focused, graduate-level training that counts toward the MATS.

-Classical & Historical Theology-
Two thousand years of the Church's deepest thought — from the desert mothers and church fathers through the Reformation, the Anglican tradition, and the modern theological renaissance. For women called to teach, study, or simply know the tradition they've inherited.

-Shepherding & Pastoral Care-
Trauma-informed care, biblical counseling, spiritual formation, and the integration of psychology and the Spirit. For women who sit with suffering and speak life into it — in pastoral ministry, chaplaincy, recovery, or the quiet work of presence.

-Human Rights & Christianity-
Where the prophetic voice of Scripture meets the urgent needs of the world. Justice, missions, intercultural theology, and Spirit-empowered leadership for women called to advocacy, policy, peacebuilding, and the rights of the vulnerable.

-Worship, Beauty, the Arts, & Human Flourishing-
Recovering the theological imagination as a pathway to the presence of God. Worship theology, the mystics, the arts, and the embodied life of faith — for women who know that beauty is not peripheral to the gospel but central to it.
Each certificate is 12 graduate credits, fully online, and completable in as little as four months. Every credit stacks toward the MATS. 

Two Tracks to Choose From

Come and Behold is a private, nonprofit women's seminary offering rigorous theological education that is accessible, flexible, and debt-free. Our debt-free model removes the financial barriers that have kept too many women from serious theological study — so students can focus on what matters: knowing the Word, understanding their calling, and growing in faith. Our degree programs provide a structured academic foundation in biblical studies and theology, preparing women for ministry, scholarship, motherhood, and faithful presence in every sphere of life. Wherever you are in your journey, you will find here a community that takes your formation seriously.
