St. Andrew's College is recognized by the United Church as the primary centre for theological education and ordination in the Prairie region. It offers theological education and training to candidates for ministry, to lay people interested in theological studies, and to people in the ministry seeking further education. Historically St. Andrew’s has always been a cradle of contextual theology emphasizing the study of scripture, theology, history, ethics, education and pastoral care with careful attention of the significance of the gospel for contemporary cultural, economic and political realities.
