Work-Life at Southern

Discover the benefits of belonging to the SBTS community.

It’s why so many of our employees come for a job, but stay for a career—because this is a place where you can deploy your God-given talents to serve the church and raise up gospel-leaders.

And it’s why so many employees refer friends and family members for jobs—because here we are encouraged to love God, care for our family and serve others.
