The greatest asset of a theological seminary is not measured by its beautiful buildings but by the quality of its faculty. Our faculty is committed to sound scholarship and absolute loyalty to God's inerrant and infallible Word. The faculty's goal is to embrace a biblical balance for life and ministry in the subjects being taught. Those who teach will also model these principles in and out of the classroom. The seminary faculty have earned degrees but also years of ministry experience. We believe equipping servant leaders is best accomplished by servant leaders who themselves combine biblical scholarship with actual experience in the work of the ministry.
