WOMEN’S LIFE Women’s Life aims to serve the women of Southeastern and the local church by encouraging them to live according to God’s design as established in his Word. Our purpose is to prepare women for ministry in their homes, churches and communities so that they will be better equipped to fulfill the Great Commission. We offer various opportunities for women to be involved on many levels of learning and growing during their time at Southeastern.

Biblical Women’s INstitute Want to be equipped to minister to others in your home as well as in your church or other ministry settings? The Biblical Women’s Institute (BWI) offers non-degree programs comprised of courses that are both practical and personally enriching. There are no prerequisites to enter the program. A majority of women in the program are seminary wives, but all women are encouraged to take courses. Also, we have developed a program for women who are planning to serve overseas alongside their husbands who are in the International Church Planting program.

Connecting Point Connecting Point is where all women of The College at Southeastern and Southeastern Seminary can connect and grow together. The main purpose of Connecting Point is to foster spiritual maturity and a better sense of community so that women will be encouraged and challenged as they prepare for ministry.

Biblical Foundations for the Minister’s Wife Dr. and Mrs. Danny Akin team up with several other relevant guest speakers to teach this class, which provides a survey of practical issues faced by ministers’ wives. It is offered free of charge. Class topics include marriage, raising godly children, ministering in your home, counseling women and other areas related to being a minister’s wife.

Lead {women} LEAD helps both Southeastern female students and your church at the same time! For Southeastern students, LEAD is designed to provide invaluable experience and exposure in the arenas of public speaking and teaching. And for local churches, LEAD can provide your church with speakers and teachers for women’s events. For more information on Southeastern Women’s Life, visit sebts.edu/womenslife.
