Gordon H. Girod Research Chair of Reformed Theology
Cultivating pastor-theologians in the Reformed tradition
In the Girod Chair we view pastoral ministry as a creative theological space. On behalf of Western Theological Seminary we seek to form ministry leaders to be people who deeply engage theology in the Reformed tradition for the sake of Christ’s church and the world. One of the ways we do this is through events, publications, and projects that display the promise of a Reformed pastor-theologian vocation for the church today.

Preaching the Word is a vocation worthy of our lives. It requires us to dwell in the text and allow the text to dwell in us.
Bast Festival
Join us as we participate in workshops, learn from speakers and study the craft of preaching together.
