We promise that if you can come with us to the Land &#8211; our classroom, or allow the Land to come to you through our open online courses. Your life will be changed.<br><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br>My first experience in Jerusalem bowled me over. It was the summer of 1994 and I was amazed at how much one could learn in such a short time. Deferring a full-ride at seminary, I pursued an MA at Hebrew University to study early Christianity and Judaism in Jerusalem, where it all began.<br><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br>Ever since coming to Jerusalem, I\u2019ve had a profound concern that ministry training for a variety of callings \u2013 and specifically an M.Div \u2013 was not available for Protestants or Messianic Jews in English in Jerusalem. This has changed with the establishment and vision of Jerusalem Seminary! We pray that Jerusalem Seminary will always be a real community of learning that prepares students academically and forms them spiritually to serve the Body of Messiah worldwide. At Jerusalem Seminary we have a unique synthesis of Bible-based teaching &#8211; rooted in the Land, that is Jesus-centered, Spirit-empowered and Hebraic-oriented.<br><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><br>As an academic institution that fosters discipleship in a real-world setting, Jerusalem Seminary engages both international scholars and local spiritual leaders to study the biblical text and sharpen our understanding of faith and a biblical worldview. Our goal is to be prepared both academically and spiritually to engage the Ivory Tower as well as everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-102fd58 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"102fd58\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d96b90\" data-id=\"2d96b90\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f198359\" data-id=\"f198359\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93dcf69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"93dcf69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;vimeo&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"elementor-video-iframe\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay\" title=\"vimeo Video Player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/438778609?autoplay=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;color&amp;autopause=0&amp;loop=0&amp;muted=0&amp;title=0&amp;portrait=1&amp;byline=1#t=\"><\/iframe>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-da47bf7\" data-id=\"da47bf7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-de3ea20 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"de3ea20\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a50acef\" data-id=\"a50acef\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f07a86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f07a86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Garamond;\">We learn best together, not alone. While studying physically in Jerusalem, community-based learning is more easily experienced, but even Jerusalem Seminary\u2019s online program will pair campus academic mentors in Jerusalem with students worldwide who are also intimately connected with their own local mentors and community. The academic mentor, local mentor, and the student together create a three-stranded cord which \u201cis not quickly broken\u201d (Ecclesiastes 4:12) This communal learning cord thereby empowers more effective academic training, spiritual formation, accountability and fellowship.<br><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Garamond;\"><br>Whenever someone comes to the Land of the Bible with an open heart and mind, they grow in ways that vastly deepen their spiritual and academic life. We know God differently after visiting Jerusalem as Psalm 76 says, \u201cIn Judah God is known\u2026He dwells in Zion.\u201d Twenty five years later, it\u2019s still true for me today: that if my head and heart are open, I\u2019ll never stop learning and growing here in the Land of the Bible.
