This recognition marks a significant step forward for the Seminary as it continues to build a strong and transparent admissions framework grounded in ethical practice and student-centered values.

“The Seminary’s inclusion in NACAC reflects our firm commitment to excellence, transparency, and compassion in every stage of the admissions process,” stated Dr. Mathew Idichandy, Seminary Director. “As an institution preparing future clergy, scholars, and leaders of the Church, we view admissions not merely as enrollment, but as a sacred invitation to discern one’s calling with honesty and faith.”
