About Our Campus

 

History

After the merger of Gordon Divinity School and Conwell School of Theology in 1969, the newly formed Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary put down roots in South Hamilton, MA. The property was once home to a devout Catholic family who willed their lush 118-acre estate to the Catholic Church. After the owners’ death, the Church transformed the inherited estate into a Carmelite Junior Seminary. Relics of that seminary’s days can be seen around campus.

Gordon-Conwell’s first students learned, studied, dined and lived in Kerr Building, one of the only buildings on campus until the much-needed Goddard Library was constructed in 1971. The Academic Center and 12 residence halls have since been added.

Referred to as the “Holy Hill” by locals, Gordon-Conwell sits at the highest elevation in Hamilton. Our family-friendly campus is situated just north of Boston and a few miles from the ocean, allowing students and families to benefit from New England’s rich heritage and resources.
