# Winebrenner Theological Seminary

Winebrenner Theological Seminary (WTS) is a private evangelical Christian seminary located in Findlay, Ohio and associated with the Churches of God General Conference (CGGC). It was established in 1942 as a graduate school of theology of Findlay College (renamed The University of Findlay in 1989) and received its charter from the state of Ohio to become an independent, degree-granting institution in 1961. The seminary derives its name from the founder of the denomination, John Winebrenner, who established the group in 1825 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
