Educational Values
Phoenix Seminary seeks to promote personal and spiritual growth through the alignment of degree program student outcomes with the following educational values:
Theological Understanding through Biblical Study
We believe the Word of God is foundational to life and ministry. Therefore, we will provide education that stimulates increasing love, respect and submission to the Word of God as well as accurate and appropriate handling of the Scriptures.
Character Development through Mentoring
We believe godly character is paramount for successful Christian ministry. Therefore, we will enable mentoring relationships that encourage personal integrity and Christ-like character.
Ministry Skills through Practice
We believe ministry skills are formed in the classroom and proven in ministry practice outside the classroom. Therefore, we will provide opportunities that develop essential skills for reducing marginalization and injustice of people groups by bridging cultural, socio-economic, ethnic, racial and gender boundaries.
