Our Mission
The purpose of Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary is to provide graduate theological training for effective service in church-related and missions vocations through its main campus and designated branch campuses. Other levels of training also are offered.
The Seminary attempts to guide students into a thorough understanding of the Bible and its relevance for today, preparing those who have been called of God to preach and teach the Word of God. Further preparation is offered through instruction in preaching, counseling, administration, and cross-cultural ministry. In addition, all students are required to participate in the Practical Missions Program of the school and are encouraged to be involved in local churches during their seminary days.
In response to the distinct training needs among Southern Baptists, the Seminary offers the following degree programs: Associate of Divinity, Associate of Christian Education, Master of Christian Education, Master of Arts in Christian Education, Master of Arts in Missiology, Master of Divinity, Doctor of Ministry (in Pastoral Ministries and Missiology), and Doctor of Philosophy. A Certificate Program is also available to students attending the Northeast Branch.
