The faculty at Southeastern teach in accordance with, and not contrary to, the Abstract of Principles and the Baptist Faith & Message. We also affirm the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy and the Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Southeastern Seminary is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools. The seminary experience at Southeastern is not just informative, it is transformative. The goal at Southeastern is to become an effective disciple of Christ in whatever vocation you choose, for the glory of God and the spread of His kingdom.
