MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT: Southern Evangelical Seminary

Summary: 

Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES) began in 1992 as an evangelical Seminary school.  SES is committed to integrated training in theology, philosophy, and apologetics to help remove obstacles so that people can come to Jesus Christ.  Theology, philosophy and apologetics are woven into each SES class to form a systematic Christian worldview.  SES firmly holds to the inerrancy and infallibility of God’s Word as its final authority for faith and practice.  SES holds to the “classical” view of the attributes of God and what it means to be a human being.  SES views good theology as essential to good discipleship.  Its philosophical foundation is through the lens of Thomas Aquinas, to build powerful arguments for the existence of God and His creative activity in addition to the objectivity of truth, morality, and biblical interpretation.  SES’s apologetics approach is to defend the faith and thereby destroy arguments and every proud obstacle against the knowledge of God.  Southern Evangelical Seminary aims to equip its graduates to effectively proclaim the Gospel, engage the culture, and defend the Truth.
