"When I signed up for the Drum Major for Justice course, I thought I had come prepared; having read several books, watched numerous videos, listened to numerous podcasts concerning social justice and had even taught a few classes on racism. However, in truth, I was not prepared for the impact it would have on my life..."

Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary is one of the twelve theological schools of the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the only one that is historically African American.
JCSTS utilizes a competency-based educational model. Competency-based education refers to systems of instruction, assessment, grading, and academic reporting that are based on a student’s ability to demonstrate vocational proficiency. It is generally seen as an alternative to more traditional educational approaches in which students may or may not acquire proficiency in a given course or academic subject before they earn course credit.
JCSTS' model focuses on five core competencies: theological interpretation , interculturality, faith community formation, worship leadership, and community transformation.
All JCSTS programs are designed to meet one or more of these competencies. Built into each course are learning activities and assessment tools that a student can complete relatively independently within a prescribed time frame.
