Applied Ministry is a course required for all students pursuing the Master of Divinity degree or the Diploma in Theology.  In Applied Ministry (AM) the seminary student serves “on the field” and obtains practical ministry experience under the supervision of a qualified minister at an eligible site.

The AM course is intended to enrich the overall education of the seminary student because ministry preparation at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary includes more than strictly intellectual training.  Applied Ministry enables the student to apply classroom knowledge in a practical, face-to-face ministry situation.  The goal is not only personal growth for the student but also blessing in the lives of others.

The links below are provided for students interested in or currently enrolled in Applied Ministry through the School of Theology. If you have questions about Applied Ministry, please contact Matt Haste at am@sbts.edu or 502-897-4680 or stop by his office in the Center for Student Success (NRT 154).
