Mid-America is a community where students and faculty are committed to one another and to the pursuit of the highest standards of scholastic excellence for the glory of Christ and the church. Rigorous academic study and Mid-America's Ministerial Apprenticeship Program combine to provide a rich learning environment that develops students who have the Word of God in their hearts and their minds. Students gain valuable field experience throughout their seminary education via mentoring relationships with experienced pastors. Students learn to know their Savior and themselves more fully and as a result gain confidence in their ability to minister to God's people.
