Leadership that is truly Christian requires spiritual growth and maturation through Bible study, prayer, worship, and other spiritual exercises carried out in classes, chapel and small group experiences. Students develop and articulate their own Christian convictions, philosophies in ministry, and personal goals. Theory must find its hands in practice at the seminary. Classroom learning and field experience are mutually essential for ministry and Christian leadership. Seminary education must include introductory practice in preaching, evangelism and counseling, as well as studies in Bible, theology and church history.
Students represent a broadening spectrum of church membership.
The seminary works with them and with their denominations to educate them for effective ministry in their respective churches. Seminary classes and internships urge students toward responsive, creative forms of ministry. The motivation of the seminary is evangelistic. With a commission to embrace the world for Christ, seminary graduates serve in many churches, through many ministries, around the world. Campus Maps .
