Saint Paul School of Theology has a long tradition of integrating experience in ministry with work in the classroom to prepare persons for leadership in the church. Students are expected to integrate their academic study of faith and ministry with their actual experience and practice in a ministry setting. These ministry settings provide contextual education as part of the required curriculum and allow students to experience ministry while they learn. This model helps students integrate theological study with the practice of ministry.
