Field Ministry is a vital part of every M.Div. degree offered at SEBTS. This component of each degree is designed to connect the student with a ministry location (i.e., a local church) to allow him or her to gain hands-on experience under the supervision of an experienced mentor. The purpose of field ministry is for the student to grow in a personal walk with the Lord, in convictions concerning the practice of ministry, and in abilities to minister to the church relative to his or her calling. The student will be challenged to integrate theological training with the practice of ministry.

There are three avenues through which student can obtain field ministry credit:

• Supervised Field Ministry classes
• One semester Mentored Internship
• Equipping Center Internship
