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.
Registration is now open until August 19th.
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 remind us that ministry formation happens best in community. As students and professors share life, pray together, and encourage one another in Christ, classroom learning grows into enduring wisdom for faithful ministry. These relationships are a vital part of preparing to serve the church well.”
– Dr. Andrew T. Walker, Dean of the School of Theology
