• • • • •Wondering if Southern Seminary has a place for you?
At Southern Seminary, we recognize the vital role that women play in God’s Kingdom. We believe that God is calling women unto Himself. To that end, we’ve created a variety of special programs and ministries to address women’s special needs and talents.
Our School of Church Ministries offers academic degrees with a special emphasis in women’s ministry. To learn more, please see the brochure (PDF).
Seminary Wives Institute is an innovative program designed to prepare the wives of seminary students for their role in their husband’s ministry.
Women’s Ministry Institute offers women the opportunity to improve their skills and ministry through a variety of classes geared toward women’s ministries in the local church.
Great Commission Women was established to minister to women in the seminary community who are interested in future service in the areas of missions, evangelism, church growth, and church planting. Throughout each semester a variety of events and a mentoring program are offered to help inform female students and student wives as they seek to fulfill the Great Commission now and in the future.
Pendergraph Women’s Ministry was created to meet the need for fellowship and sharing of common concerns among wives of seminary students and female students.

I will never forget the 1986 Superbowl Championship when Phil Simms’ New York Giants defeated John Elway’s Denver Broncos. I was as proud as punch because my Dad had coached one of the Giants’ players when he was in high school—middle linebacker Gary Reasons.

- by – Feb 3
This time two weeks ago, if I had dropped dead, my body would have twitched for 72 hours before I could’ve been embalmed.

It’s because I’m doing what I never thought I’d do. I’m withdrawing from caffeine.
