Integrated Christian Education with an

Apologetics Focus

To effectively engage our post-Christian culture with the Gospel, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of philosophy, theology, and apologetics. This integrated apologetics-focused 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.

"Apologetics wasn’t a side issue. It was the actual essence of the ministry I was doing…I’m finding out more and more how important it is to be trained in order to pick up on these philosophical problems to answer the real question at hand."

What Are Others Saying?

“[Apologetics] is opening the door, clearing the rubble, and getting rid of the hurdles so that people can come to Christ."

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."
