Evangelical seminaries are educational institutions that prepare students for ministry and leadership roles within the Evangelical Christian tradition. They offer programs in theology, biblical studies, and pastoral care, focusing on the interpretation of the Bible and the application of its teachings in contemporary society. These seminaries often emphasize a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the importance of evangelism. Many are affiliated with specific denominations and provide training for various roles, including pastors, missionaries, and educators, equipping students with both academic knowledge and practical skills for their future ministries.
