History
Redeemer Seminary in Dallas was founded by Westminster Theological Seminary as a Texas campus in 1999 before officially becoming an independent institution in 2009,[1] and was fully accredited by 2013.[2] Westminster Seminary itself was founded in 1929 after breaking away from Princeton Theological Seminary (founded 1812) during the Fundamentalist–Modernist controversy over the reorganization of Princeton away from its historic Old School ethos.[3] Westminster Seminary developed over the 20th century, and Redeemer was founded in part to continue both the pre-1929 Princeton tradition, as well as to maintain the culture of Westminster in its middle years of the 1970s through the early 2000s.[4][5] Redeemer sought to extend the Old School tradition in a missional direction, and partnered with the Surge Network's Missional Training Center in Phoenix, which was a fully accredited extension site of the seminary.[6] Redeemer had faculty members ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Christian Reformed Church, and the Anglican Church in North America.[7]
In October 2016, the seminary announced that it would be closing as an institution and that it would become Reformed Theological Seminary's Dallas campus.[8]
