Our Distinctives
Phoenix Seminary is not just another accredited, post-graduate seminary. We have embraced unique distinctives since our inception more than 20 years ago. We believe excellence is a matter of mind and heart.
We Balance Academics With Practice
Phoenix Seminary faculty are recognized for their academic expertise and significant ministry experience. Their goal is to teach you to think biblically and prepare you for ministry in the real world.
As a Phoenix Seminary student, you will be involved in systematic study of the Scriptures and historic biblical theology. You will also learn current theological viewpoints and positions on contemporary issues in the church and larger culture. Our goal is to equip you to think biblically and independently so you can constructively apply biblical truth to vital areas of ministry.
As a result, Phoenix Seminary courses are theologically rich and relevant to hands-on ministry today. Our resident and adjunct faculty are scholars; and they are real people, doing real ministry, who bring substantial local church experience to the classroom. Internships and Ministry Exposures will take you into contemporary ministry settings with the goal of developing your God-given gifts and ministry skills.
We Mentor Our Degree Students
Mentoring at Phoenix Seminary is about relationships and personal character development. We describe mentoring as holistic, intensive, and personalized relationship. Mentoring is holistic because we are concerned about every aspect of your life. We are convinced that what happens in your home is as important as what happens in the classroom. Mentoring is intensive in that we diligently and actively pursue whatever is necessary to nurture strength and positive growth in you. Mentoring is personalized because we focus on you as an individual—your unique needs, strengths, and goals.
Phoenix Seminary is committed to preparing men and women to be leaders with integrity—leaders who recognize their calling to live exemplary lives among God’s people for His glory and who know that such a calling requires nothing less than godly character.
We Partner With Local Churches
Phoenix Seminary is committed to partnering with local churches throughout the Southwest in training and equipping you for real-life ministry. We have taken the lead to support all evangelical churches in Arizona to reach the six million people in this state with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Together, Phoenix Seminary and the local church offer you an unparalleled opportunity to apply the timeless truth of God’s Word to practical, relevant ministry today.
