Falls Seminary walk alongside each student for a brief time in a lifelong journey as a disciple of Jesus Christ. The pages of our catalog describe G. Michael Hagan part of the process that takes place as we go together—what are usually called President coursework and programs of study. You may look them over and gain an excellent idea of what your journey as a seminary student will be like. But our commitment to you includes much more, including understanding how God has brought you to this point in your life and how you will be used in ministry service in years to come. We commit ourselves to walk with you in a lifelong approach to ministry. In the time you spend with us, you will discover who God is, who you are as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and what God wants you to do in service. All of our degree programs lead to ministry. You may serve in counseling, youth work, a pastoral or missionary setting, or evangelistic work. Whatever path you journey down, you will find service in ministry. Skills and knowledge will be acquired. Relationship with God will grow in ways you cannot imagine. Your life will be transformed for the sake of the Kingdom of God. Our goal for each student in the time we journey together is a person who is equipped for rich experiences in God’s service as an instrument of God’s choosing. In the process we are changed, too. Let’s journey together to do the Lord’s will. 3 general information dean’s greeting Welcome to SFS’ Community On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Sioux Falls Seminary, I am happy to welcome our current and prospective students to the challenges and rewards of theological education! Our seminary community is made up of a diverse group of men and women who come from a variety of places. Our faculty is comprised Ronald D. Sisk of nationally recognized scholars with advanced degrees from leading universi- Academic Vice President and Dean ties and theological schools from around the world. All members of the faculty are also experienced ministry practitioners, and many are currently engaged in local church staff positions. Sioux Falls Seminary students come from sixteen different states, and often two or three foreign countries are represented. The balance of male and female students is close to half and half. While SFS is a seminary historically rooted in the Baptist tradition, over half the student body identifies with other Christian denominations including Methodist, Presbyterian, Reformed, Pentecostal, and independent non-denominational churches, to name but a few. What unites this diverse community is our common commitment to the central- ity of the Gospel, the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the authority of Scripture. The faculty of Sioux Falls Seminary is committed to raising up highly dedicated, well educated ministers who stress the role of servant leadership and who can empower local congregations to fulfill their mission. Likewise, we seek to train qualified therapists and counselors who can integrate their Christian faith with their professional expertise. Distinctives of our school include a Bible-focused curriculum, an emphasis on spiritual formation, and hands-on leadership development through supervised ministry experiences in area congregations. At Sioux Falls Seminary, students are not asked to choose between an academic education and a practical education, or between intellectual rigor and spiritual growth.
