Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary
The Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary (JCSTS) which was named in 1923 mission is to advance communities of faith, justice, and compassion through innovation and theological education. JCSTS is one of the twelve theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the only one that is historically African American.
Under the leadership of President Paul Roberts and the Board of Trustees, JCSTS innovated a new digital bridge of education competencies that expands leader capabilities and improves communities. It brings revelations on the viral racialdemic of today’s Black Church USA and embodies the moral conscious of the nation, standing strong on the shoulders of its African descended ancestors, and mobilizing to advance the Beloved Community through the vital and life-giving message of Love, Justice, and Peace.
Current President: Rev. Paul Timothy Roberts
