Scripture reminds us that faithful ministry engages both the heart and the mind. Seminary for a Day creates space for pastors, church staff, and lay leaders to step back, sharpen their thinking, and be encouraged in their calling. Participants learn directly from SBC seminary professors and experienced ministry leaders through practical, seminary-level teaching.
Through focused training in areas such as theology, biblical studies, and pastoral health and ministry, Seminary for a Day serves those at every stage of theological education. Whether you have completed formal training or are eager to grow where you are, this day offers a meaningful opportunity to be refreshed, equipped, and renewed for faithful service.
