Resources for New Students
Meet Other Students
Student Organizations exist to establish community, communication and spiritual growth among groups who share a common affinity at Southern Seminary. Several student organizations are organized around common cultural backgrounds.
Meet Non-Christians
There are over 100 languages spoken in Louisville, but not enough people speaking the gospel. The Bevin Center for Missions Mobilization connects the classroom to the mission field. There are many opportunities to connect students to nonbelievers from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Louisville is a vibrant place to learn and live
As a thriving metropolitan area, Louisville offers museums, a zoo, a waterfront park, a robust local food and coffee culture, over a hundred parks and recreation areas and numerous ministry opportunities. For whatever amount of time you’re in the area or whatever stage of life you’re in, Louisville has much to offer.
