St. Andrew’s Theological College and Seminary was established in 1971 by the Orthodox Anglican Church. On September 3, 1975 the school was incorporated in the State of North Carolina as a non-profit, religious, educational institution. The seminary provided denominationally-specific theological training and education for Orthodox Anglican clergy in a residential setting. In 1995, a distance education program was initiated to allow students, who were unable to enter the residential program, to prepare for the ministry by studying via correspondence while attending workshops and seminars scheduled at churches across the United States. St. Andrews also opened enrollment to students who were not members of the Orthodox Anglican Church.

St. Andrew’s is thus the oldest continuously operating school of its type in the United States, training the next generation of Christian leadership. St. Andrew’s conducts theological instruction online, and provides various seminars and opportunities for hands-on course work and mentoring in various churches in North Carolina and South Carolina.

St. Andrew’s Theological College and Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, disability, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational and admission policies and other college-administered programs.
