Ministry is an outflow of life, not mere activities. Spiritual maturity determines the quality of ministry. Growth in spiritual life of the entire seminary family (students, staff, faculty and administration) is an important concern of ASCM. Intellectual growth must be accompanied by a growing spiritual life evidenced by an intimate daily walk with God, and being filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
