What is Seminary Extension?

Seminary Extension is a plan for equipping today's busy Christian ministers and lay people.  The goal of Seminary Extensin is to provide an opportunity for biblically accurate theological education and ministry training to every interested believer.  We do not seek to replace a seminary education, but focus on those who cannot, for various reasons, attend a seminary.  Our courses are biblical and reflect the values and theology of the Southern Baptist Convention, as they are stated in the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message.  To meet our goal, Seminary Extension delivers quality education using local live classrooms, internet, correspondence, and CD ROM.

Seminary Extension is a ministry of the six theological seminaries of the Southern Baptist Convention - Golden Gate, Midwestern, New Orleans, Southeastern, Southern and Southwestern.

Seminary Extension offers more than 100 courses in certificate and diploma programs.  Seminary Extension is not a degree granting institution, but a number of colleges accept Seminary Extension Level Two course credits toward baccalaureate degrees.

The center is located in Winfield, PA and is hosted at Winfield Baptist Church. Rev. James Worth serves as the Center Director.
