Our Mission: Sioux Falls Seminary equips servant leaders for the ministries of Christ in the church and in the world.
Our Motto: Equipping Leaders...Transforming Lives
Our Purpose: We exist as a ministry to produce quality ministers for the church and the world. As a final outcome, we want larger numbers of equipped ministers who will serve effectively as servant leaders in whatever ministries God provides. We teach them the life of discipleship to Jesus, living in the power of God as obedient apprentices, and how they can make disciples themselves.
Students Will Demonstrate: Growing spiritual maturity, character development, vision, and leadership skills for ministry;
Commitment to the authority of the Scriptures, to the building of the body of Christ, and to its mission of meeting human needs by quality worship, outreach, community service, and global concern;
Coherent understanding of the theological body of knowledge in light of the Baptist and evangelical heritages;
Solid and growing professional competence in appropriate ministry skills expressed in a caring, redemptive manner.
The educational program of the school grows directly out of this mission and purpose statement. Each degree program is planned to lead to these competencies.
