At BJU Seminary we want to enable our men and their wives to be trained together so that they can be be fully equipped to serve together. Although teachers, classes, books, and projects are important to a seminary student’s preparation for ministry, a man’s wife is also important to his success in the work of the Lord.
That’s why the Seminary Wives Institute exists — to provide relevant ministry training and mentoring for the wives of the men in our seminary. Through monthly training sessions, opportunities to pursue formal training and a community of like-minded women, the SWI seeks to support our seminary wives in their current ministries and equip them for future opportunities.
