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.
