History
The dream of The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology began around a kitchen table, where a gathering of a few passionate dreamers dared to imagine a new kind of theological and psychological training. The Seattle School was initially established under the auspices of Western Seminary in 1997, becoming independent in 2000, and establishing itself in the heart of downtown Seattle in 2007. In 2011, the school changed its name from Mars Hill Graduate School to The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Over the years, The Seattle School has been committed to training therapists, pastors, artists, leaders, and social entrepreneurs to be competent in the study of text, soul, and culture in order to serve God and neighbor through transforming relationships.

Theology
The Seattle School is a progressive, multi-denominational institution. Founded upon the belief that the presence of our Triune God is continually revealed through relationship, The Seattle School is a learning community informed by incarnational theology and a relational hermeneutic. Valuing discourse as a powerful means of discovery and growth, The Seattle School is intentionally interdisciplinary and diverse.
Stanley Grenz, who taught at the school for several years, was influential to the school's theological roots, as was author Brian McLaren, who has been a teacher at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and also served on the school's board.
