Advancing the Kingdom: Seminary Education’s Role Now and In The Years to Come

The seminary education landscape has changed considerably, but its focus has not. The ultimate goal continues to be training church ministry leaders.

What has changed is the definition of seminary education. Many students want to go deeper in their theological and biblical knowledge without necessarily a degree or ordination.

What will the future hold? How can biblical institutions meet their students where they are and adapt accordingly?

After completing an overseas tenure in Haiti, Matt Ayars, President at Wesley Biblical Seminary, talks to us about how seminary education needs to change in order to flourish. Matt elaborates on what he believes the challenges and opportunities are, and why it’s important for seminaries to teach their students how to think theologically.
