Logos Evangelical Seminary

What Logos Evangelical Seminary does

Logos Evangelical Seminary (正道福音神學院) is a private, nonprofit theological seminary founded in 1989 by Rev. Felix Liu and headquartered in El Monte, California, with a regional campus in Bensenville, Illinois. The institution delivers accredited theological education to Chinese-diaspora and English-speaking students through a portfolio spanning diploma, master's (M.Div., Th.M., M.A.C.S., M.A.F.M., M.A.I.C.S.), and doctoral (D.Min., Ph.D.) degree programs, plus dual-degree combinations. Curriculum is delivered bilingually in Chinese and English across three modalities: in-person instruction at the Los Angeles flagship and Chicago campus, asynchronous distance learning through an e-Campus platform, and continuing-education programs via the LOGOS Training Institute (LTI), which offers courses such as KAIROS, Workplace Christian GPS, and FOCCUS. Supporting infrastructure includes library services, supervised field education internships, on-campus student housing at the Los Angeles campus, weekly chapel services (live-streamed), an annual Logos Conference, and dedicated international student services (I-20, SEVIS, F-1 visa processing).

The seminary operates as a tuition- and donation-funded institution. Revenue is generated from per-credit and program-based tuition and fees across its degree catalog, supplemented by voluntary donations channeled through structured giving programs (Logos Partners, Foundation Partners, Campus Renovation Partners, Endowment Chair Partners, and Kingdom Enterprise Partners). The customer base is individual students pursuing ministry credentials, supplemented by an active alumni network of over 800 graduates serving in more than 30 countries across pastoral ministry, missions, publishing, media, education, and chaplaincy. The seminary also serves as a recruitment channel for churches and Christian organizations seeking trained ministry staff via an alumni-network job board. No external equity funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed; governance is through a Governing Board and Foundation Board, with Rev. Benson Wang, Ph.D. serving as current President. The organization has approximately 46 employees and does not publicly disclose financial statements.
