One of the most cherished features of the United Church of Christ and our ancestral denominations has been a learned clergy. As a denomination, we increasingly recognize that there are many meanings of "learned" and many ways to be educated and formed for ministry.  Seminary study remains, however, a centerpiece of ministerial preparation.  The UCC is closely related to seven seminaries.
