Steadfast in the Truth

THE TOMB WAS EMPTY.
YOUR
MIND SHOULDN'T BE.

Are you ready to transform your faith and unleash your purpose? In a post-Christian world, the ability to remain steadfast in the truth and penetrate the culture with the Gospel requires intentional preparation. Through integrated apologetics-focused Christian education, Southern Evangelical Seminary provides the necessary tools you need for effective evangelism and discipleship.

Integrated Christian Education with an

Apologetics Focus

To effectively engage the culture with the Gospel, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of philosophy, theology, and apologetics. This integrated approach is the core of every SES program. Whether you’re seeking a degree or certificate in apologetics, philosophy, biblical studies, or something else, the foundation is the same. Good philosophy provides a solid foundation from which to do theology, and both provide necessary tools for sound apologetics. Together, all three disciplines aid in removing obstacles to the Gospel (evangelism) and in building mature disciples who live the Gospel (discipleship) and are steadfast in the truth. This integrated apologetics-focused approach is what you will receive in nearly every course at SES.

"Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards; give me an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give me an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow on me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and faithfulness that may finally embrace you, through Jesus Christ our Lord."
