About Sioux Falls


With a growing population of 144,000, Sioux Falls boasts a low crime rate, excellent public and private schools, major medical facilities, an airport, and a healthy business climate.  It’s a city that Money, Parenting, and Redbook magazines have rated as one of the best places in America to live and raise a family.

It is also a great place to attend seminary.  The school’s location is advantageous for students as they benefit from the opportunities in Sioux Falls and the surrounding region, including Omaha and Minneapolis.  What’s more, nestled in the upper Midwest, Sioux Falls offers a town and country ministry context.  While Sioux Falls provides a taste of urban life, it is the town and country surroundings that set the pace for life in the area. Students are exposed to a variety of social contexts from metropolitan to rural.  In return, these contexts provide a practical outlet for applying new skills and abilities.
