Theological Formation Contextual Ministerial Experience Character Assessment

Southern Seminary encourages students to remain involved in ministry while pursuing formal theological training. Our ministry apprenticeship program (MAP) provides a direct avenue for combining academic study with supervised service in a local ministry context. In addition to the theological formation and contextual ministry experience that MAP provides, character assessment is a signature part of this program’s contribution to a student’s training at a bachelor or master level.

SBTS FALL 2013 ORIENTATION 3

“Sojourn has partnered with SBTS through the MAP program to continue fulfill-ing the church’s mandate to make disciples and raise up pastors and leaders in every generation. The credit hours earned through MAP will help Sojourners make real world connections to their world-class seminary education by serving and leading in the local church. The integration of theologi-cal education into the setting of the local church is key for both formation and mission of young leaders.”

MARK DEVER, SENIOR PASTOR, CAPITOL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH, WASHINGTON, D.C.

“As pastor of a local church, I’m trying to do whatever I can to raise up pastors for other churches and for the next generation. That’s why I’m grateful for Southern Seminary’s MAP program. To receive seminary credit for work they’re doing in our local church internship is a big help to these men who are preparing to pastor.”

JEFF CRAWFORD , PRESIDENT OF CROSS CHURCH SCHOOL OF MINISTRY, SPRINGDALE, ARK.

“The MAP program of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is set-ting the pace in the next generation of theological education as it affirms the place of the local church and under-girds the church with a sound biblical model of cooperative preparation for ministry.  The Cross Church School of Ministry is proud to partner with SBTS and the MAP program, and is eager to encourage other churches to invest in this forward thinking model of minis-try preparation.”

DANIEL MONTGOMERY, LEAD AND FOUNDING PASTOR OF SOJOURN COMMUNITY CHURCH, LOUISVILLE, KY.

“John R. Mott said, ‘There is indeed an audacity and even sacrilege in daring to intervene decisively in the lives of other people.’  For over 10 years, through Nehemiah Teams, we have been daring to intervene in the lives of this generation. Now, with the help of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary’s MAP program, we will be able to intervene more decisively to lead this generation.”JESS JENNINGS, NEHEMIAH TEAMS COORDINATOR, NEHEMIAH TEAMS DIRECTOR, SOUTHEAST ASIA PEOPLES STUDENT STRATEGIST COACH
