Seminary Rethought
Seminary is not a practical consideration for everyone. But it’s not out of the question. It’s made possible with Seminary Advantage. SA is a ministry training program that focuses on equipping all who desire to reproduce. We are committed to bring together a solid theological curriculum with the practical outflow of local church experience for modern ministry training.
2 Timothy 2:2
“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”The curriculum is suited for a wide range of individuals desiring to lead and serve in various ministries - from pastor to church planter, Christian teacher, missionary and layperson.
Training the ordinary to do the extraordinary
At SA you are taught by theologians and pastors. We are combining a robust 10-course theological curriculum delivered through an advanced local church framework to give you the most comprehensive ministry education.
Missional Design
The face of theological education is changing and we are preparing pastors for 21st-century ministry with a practical mix of church-based training and a powerful learning platform to meet you where you are so you can go forth where God has called you. It’s the power of seminary delivered through the local church and online!
Making a difference for eternity
Seminary Advantage is partnering with South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary (a fully accredited instituion) along with The Timothy Initiative who has planted over 20,000 churches around the world since 2008. It is now our desire to carry out the same evangelistic strategy here in the United States.
Why We Do It
Seminary Advantage believes that “every Christian deserves a well-trained pastor.” According to the Barna Group, the number of unchurched people neared 100 million in 2007. In 2010, there was roughly one seminarian for every 3,000 unchurched persons. This number greatly expands when liberal seminaries and non-evangelical seminaries are excluded from the figures. There simply is a great need for new ways of training people for Christ’s mission.
What we Do
S.A. is redesigning the traditional approach to theological training. By removing barriers and access to seminary training, S.A. is rethinking the way people are trained for 21st century ministry. This training provides all of the key elements of solid theological training. In this one-year program, you will participate in weekly, guided discussions and lectures.
