Stewardship Report: The Value of Intensives
This week, over 120 students will attend our spring 2018 Kairos Project intensive. These students, joining us from around the world, will come to Sioux Falls for a time of learning, worship, encouragement, and development. Here are five important ways that intensives encourage and develop our students.
Stewardship Report: Collaboration in Theological Education
When I think about theological education, I think of a system of interdependent, interconnected parts. A system that includes schools, churches, faith-based nonprofits, accrediting bodies, and more. Often, people picture this as a group of puzzle pieces that come together to make a unified whole.
Join Us for the 2018 Hiller Lectureship
The 2018 Hiller Lectureship is quickly approaching. We are excited for Dr. Taylor Worley to join us in Sioux Falls as our speaker. Come and acquire a fresh perspective on mission as we explore how to greet today’s culture with faith, hope, and love and welcome people into God’s kingdom in a hospitable and culture-positive way.
Recap: Sing and Celebrate Cruise
Friends and alumni of Sioux Falls Seminary recently joined God’s Volunteers/New Day and Taylor College and Seminary alumni on cruise to the Mexican Riviera. The group consisted of past SFS Community Choir members and individuals who have served in ministry as pastors, missionaries, and lay leaders.
Stewardship Report: MABT Intercultural Studies Cohort
What do a fast food executive, an instructor at a major hospital, and a manager for an aerospace company in the Middle East all have in common?

Stewardship Report: Sharing Our Heritage
As president of SFS, I serve on the Strategy Team and the General Council of the NAB Conference. These roles recently took me to Roseville, CA, to participate in meetings. There, we discussed everything from international missions to church planting to governing documents to the future of theological education.
Rosebud Immersion: Serving Others in the Name of Christ
This year’s cross-cultural immersion on July 7-13, 2018, is our 12th annual experience. Through this deeply enriching learning experience you can immerse yourself in the local culture and learn how to use your gifts to extend grace across cultural lines. It is relevant for all cross-cultural contexts.
New Collaboration with Garrett-Evangelical
On January 26, 2018, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and SFS received approval from the University Senate of The United Methodist Church to engage a pilot cohort of United Methodist students in the Kairos Project. Garrett-Evangelical will provide a portion of the courses for participating students.
Stewardship Report: Learning from the Past
The new year is often a time of setting goals for the future and remembering the past. I’m beginning 2018 with confidence that God will continue the good work that he started at the seminary over 150 years ago. The story of God’s church can challenge us and give us a better understanding of the faith we proclaim.
