School Overview

Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the mission of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is to be totally committed to the Bible as the Word of God, to the Great Commission as our mandate, and to be a servant of the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention by training, educating, and preparing ministers of the gospel for more faithful service.

Driven by the Truth
Throughout its history, Southern Seminary has maintained the primary purpose of preparing students for Christian ministry. Today, we are committed to offering students comprehensive and rigorous training for the challenges of ministry.

Serve While You Study
Seminary should not be a break from ministry. Many students find themselves deployed to a number of local ministries and pastorates during their time in Louisville.
