Our Philosophy

Uncompromised, authoritative interpretation, exposition, and presentation of the inerrant Word.

As a historically fundamentalist yet non-denominational seminary, we:
  • Defend the cardinal doctrines of the faith.
  • Adhere to a balanced dispensational hermeneutic.
BJU Seminary faculty members train students to faithfully interpret, exegete, proclaim, and defend the Word of God.
Our faculty and leadership seek to support the Christian community as a whole with thorough, rigorous, and widely accessible scholarship and insights.

Our Distinctives

Humble, basin-and-towel service to today’s challenged church

Elevating the office of Pastor

Commitment to holiness

Fulfilling the great commission

Our LEADERSHIP

Our leadership team consists of longtime pastors with a deep appreciation of and heart for serving the church and a burning desire to strengthen and encourage pastors, both those in training and those already in the pulpit.​
They are living out these values not only in the 500 x 5 x 5 Strategic Vision they established but through a 5P Plan of innovation and investments designed to build the human and physical infrastructure to make that Vision a reality.​
