Who's your favorite team?

Even though spring is late in arriving this year, the students and faculty enjoyed a fun evening together at the 2013 Spring Fellowship.  The game night included several games where the students challenged the faculty, ending with the basketball game, "Bump." 

We sang, heard some testimonies, and shared a meal together.  The appetizers, pizza, chicken wings, and desserts were delicious.  Thanks for organizing the event, Student Body Officers.

Counseling Addictions and Disorders (PC625):  S. Harbin

   January 7-11, 2013 (7:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. M-F)

The course equips pastoral counselors to help people with more challenging counseling issues -- problems which in contemporary culture may be described as "addiction" or "disorder."  The course lays a theological and biological framework for understanding such issues and utilizes case study to illustrate a biblical counselor's approach to addressing these problems.  Specific problems to be considered include substance addictions, sexual addictions, eating disorders, depression, and panic disorders.  Consideration will also be given to spiritual warfare/demon possession as it relates to life-dominating problems.

    January 14-17 (8:00 AM-3:00 PM, M-TH)  

This course is an examination of the biblical teaching with regard to the pastoral role as one that is properly shaped by intentional gospel concerns. Attention will be given to the biblical foundation and exposition of gospel-centered ministry and its application to the various local church programs and ministries and to the pastor in the various functions of his office.

Matching Gift

Recently a generous donor presented the seminary with a $100,000 Matching Gift Opportunity which would enable us to accomplish two goals:

1.  To give immediate assistance in lowering the cost of tuition by offering students scholarships, and thereby lessen their debt load as they head into ministry

2.  To continue outfitting our classrooms with the technology needed for both online and residential students

Would you prayerfully consider giving to this Matching Gift Opportunity and helping us reach our goal?

This gift is intended to go over and above normal gifts such as the “Partners in Ministry” monthly support.
Feel free to use the PayPal option.  Any donations sent in through the mail should be earmarked for this Matching Gift.

Thanks for partnering with us in training men and women to know the Word and reach the world!
