Why Southern?
In their own words
“The Lord used my time at 乱伦社区 as a divinity and doctoral student to shape my thinking and my life in preparation for ministry in the local church and now in a missions organization that exists to serve the local church. The impact of my years on Southern’s campus upon my character, ministry, and walk with the Lord could not be overstated, nor could my gratitude for those years.”
President, International Mission Board
In their own words
“My time at Southern was deeply formative in preparing me for future ministry both as a mom and ministry leader in the church. It prepared me to study the text for myself and gave me the tools I needed to teach the Bible in whatever context God provided for me. I’ve been able to use my training at Southern around the dinner table in answering hard Bible questions from my boys. I’ve also been able to use the research strategies I learned in my classes to write books and resources for the broader church. Not an ounce of it was wasted. I’m forever grateful for my time here!”

In their own words
“My time at Southern Seminary was formative when it comes to my ministry in the local church. Southern gave me a set of tools that helped me study and teach the Bible, and Southern gave me a set of relationships that continue to guide me as I pursue my God-given responsibilities.”

We were certainly prepared by the聽faculty at Southern for the challenges and great joys of ministry. But, honestly, our memories聽focus on how the faculty modeled lives lived in light of the gospel. We loved our professors, and they loved聽us too.”

It is what makes us Trusted for Truth.
