What are Mentoring Groups?
Mentoring Groups through Southern Seminary provide master’s level students with the opportunity for mentorship by a faculty member and fellowship with a small group of students throughout the semester. Faculty members provide spiritual support and counsel outside the classroom. The monthly meetings provide opportunity for relational development, encouragement, and prayer.

Why Join a Mentoring Group?
“Learning to minister to God’s people is more caught than taught. Having faculty model care for you and your fellow students will not only encourage you in the short term, but also guide you in the long term. Let us know you while you get to know us.”
– Dr. Jeremy P. Pierre, Dean of the Billy Graham School
“Mentoring groups are among the richest experiences students and professors can have at seminary. Sharing your spiritual journey, your commitment to calling, your need for prayer, and your mutual love of Jesus with a professor and other students are powerful encouragements and opportunities for growth that sometimes mean more than the classroom. Don’t sacrifice the relational for the informational! Get in a mentoring group!”
– Dr. Hershael W. York, Dean of the School of Theology
