Student Life
Student Life supports the mission of Southern Seminary by keeping students alert to their call to work hard for the kingdom while resting in Christ.
We call students to think carefully about worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ in every sphere of their lives.
Services
Student Care
Single or married, a student or a spouse of a student, life in seminary can be challenging. The Student Life Office provides personal discipleship-oriented care and support for students.
Women at Southern
At Southern Seminary, we recognize the vital role that women play in God’s Kingdom. To that end, we’ve created a variety of special programs and ministries to address women’s needs and equip them for whatever calling God has placed on their lives.
Student Organizations
Student Organizations exist to establish community, communication and spiritual growth among groups who share a common affinity at Southern Seminary. Browse our current student organizations or consider beginning a new student organization.
Residence Life
The Residence Life team aims to foster a seminary community where residents encourage, care for, and serve one another to the glory of God.
