More importantly, welcome to the next step in your journey of discipleship and mission. People enroll in seminary for many different reasons, but one reason that seems to resonate with many students is that they were called by God. The call of God is powerful and intimidating at the same time. The God of the Universe has placed a call upon your life. You may be unsure of the exact way in which that call will unfold or you might be confident in the next step on your journey. In each case, you are first called to follow God. Each of us is invited to experience life in the Kingdom of God and to use our gifts to serve the Mission of God. We have the privilege of participating in the great work God is doing in this world. It is in that work that we truly experience life. Your journey through Sioux Falls Seminary is first and foremost a journey of discipleship. You will be challenged to engage in your walk with Christ in new and exciting ways. You will be asked to consider how God might be asking you to share the redemptive message of the Gospel. At times, you will question whether or not seminary is the best option for you. At other times, you will simply revel in the grace and power of God. Please know that Christ is with you at each of those moments. Sioux Falls Seminary is committed to developing servants for their participation in the kingdom mission. Welcome to that journey! 1 We strive to make theological general information Kingdom Calling education .
