The big picture: Building scholars of integrity in the context of community life
The faculty and staff of the School of Theology are committed to the development of servant leaders in
the fulfillment of the biblical mandate to follow Jesus Christ into all the world. We value the uncovering
of what this means within the postmodern context of our society and world. The spiritual formation of
men and women is a central focus of the integration and preparation of ministerial students toward that
end. Whether preparing for service as pastors of local congregations, leaders within churches, or as crosscultural
mission personnel, an informed scholar of integrity is our intent. The School of Theology values
spiritual formation as a central integration point of preparation for ministry. This integration complements
the academic disciplines. Students and faculty are encouraged to share together in the community
life of faith through chapel attendance, small prayer groups, spiritual formation groups, and personal
meditation. Active participation in the life of a local congregation is also highly desirable.
