Humble servants
We want students leaving seminary more humble than when they started. We cannot neglect the training of the heart while training their head. We must teach them what it looks like to walk with Christ and stay submitted to Him in every area of their lives and ministry. We are producing servants of Christ and His church.
Passionate about the local church
We want to train students to fall in love with the local church. We must train students to recognize this is the center of God’s activity. We want to graduate students who are passionate about building local churches.
We are evangelistically driven
We want to train students to be passionate about reaching their community and world for Christ. We want to release pastors, ministers, and staff members into local churches who are passionate about growing those churches. We are driven by lostness.
Theologically astute
We are not preparing students who are theologically lite. We want to dive into the deep truths of God and bring them into everyday church realities and situations with real people. We are training students who have the theological depth needed to thrive in the day in which we live.
Relationally gifted
We want to help students learn how to communicate face to face in the midst of a tech-driven world. Most pastors lose their ministry in part because of a failure to handle people and delicate situations well. We want to graduate students who are gifted relationally.
