A Greeting from the Dean
Are you called by God to minister in this challenging world today? I have always believed that the call to ministry is the call to prepare for ministry. At Southwestern you will have the opportunity to study under world-class scholars and teachers who keep their finger on the pulse of the local church as well. Whatever your ministry calling, Southwestern will place in your hands the tools for a lifetime of ministry in the church and in the world.
