Mission:

To continue providing the highest quality of leaders, both lay and ordained, for the mission of the Church.

About Us:

As a recognized seminary for the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church in North America, the Episcopal Missionary Church, and the North American Lutheran Church among others, Nashotah House is a center for High Church theology, discipline, and the ideals of the Oxford Movement. Our programs are centered upon orthodox faith, catholic teaching, Anglo-Catholic tradition, evangelical mission, and spirit filled witness. As an institution, we are committed to influencing both the Church and world from a rootedness in the person and work of Jesus Christ, and it is through Christ that, since our founding in 1842.

History:

In 1841, under the direction of Bishop Jackson Kemper, three newly ordained deacons journeyed west and founded Nashotah House as a mission to the American frontier. The following year, a seminary opened with three students. These modest beginnings are witnessed today in the original Red Chapel where the early seminary community worshiped, nestled along the shore of Upper Nashotah Lake.

In 1847, Nashotah House received its formal charter from the Wisconsin territorial legislature as a college of "piety and learning." From its humble inception, the mission of the House, then, as now, is to prepare men and women to proclaim boldly and clearly the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
