Aims of the Department

Through the Religious Education emphasis at Southwestern Adventist University, students will be able to:

read the Bible perceptively
understand the Christian worldview
integrate the contributions of Seventh-day Adventism
be disciples of Christ and active members of their local congregations

Specifically, theological training facilitates a Christ-centered and Bible-based education on campus, in the classroom, and in the community, balancing theory and practice and harmonizing the dynamics of local church and global mission within a Seventh-day Adventist context. We integrate a multifaceted matrix of Inspiration - Implication - Implementation and Involvement.
