SBC Seminary Sunday

The estimated 46,000 autonomous churches that cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention pool their resources to support the work of the six theological seminaries. The Convention operates these seminaries to train its ministers and Christian workers. The six are:

• The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky (established 1859);
• The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas (1908);
• New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana (1917);
• Gateway Seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention in Ontario, California (1944);
• The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina (1951); and
• Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri (1957).
