Statement of Institutional Vision Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary's mission is to equip, train and mobilize God-called men and women to impact the world for Christ. We accept the commission and the challenge from Southern Baptist churches to prepare God-called men and women spiritually, theologically and practically to "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3) and to fulfill the Great Commission in all the world. To that end, Southeastern desires to see every student verbally sharing witness to Jesus Christ both here and in global settings where each student has opportunities to grow in understanding and awareness of the diversity and complexity of a world that needs that witness so urgently. Southeastern seeks to instill unqualified faith in and voluntary obedience to the person and work of Jesus Christ and a commitment to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God. Fostering spiritual growth in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as essential preparation for Christian ministry and service, Southeastern will encourage the formation of Christian thought and character in the pursuit of God's calling. Such formation shall require a close, personal walk with Jesus Christ through seeking and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit in accordance with Scripture.
