About Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, established in 1908 under the visionary leadership of B.H. Carroll, was born out of the urgent need for trained ministers in America�s rapidly growing Southwest. Initially part of Baylor University, the seminary became an independent institution in Waco before relocating to Fort Worth in 1910. Carroll�s unwavering commitment to orthodoxy, gospel-centered education, and the Great Commission shaped the seminary�s mission. Training God-called men and women for ministry,?Southwestern has an expansive academic program training pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders in theology, missions, evangelism, music and worship, and education. Today, it stands as a beacon of faithfulness, equipping generations to serve Christ�s church globally.
