Our Mission
The Spirit of Esther Theological Seminary seeks to transform its students to make them into functioning spiritual citizens in the Kingdom of God as courageous witnesses. With an Evangelical foundation at the root of our theology, we integrate academic excellence and real-world experience with the ability to know one’s divine purpose and act upon it. We want our students to grow in faith into mature believers so they can win souls for God’s Kingdom
Our Vision
SOETS will cultivate greatness, spiritual growth, and purpose, preparing our students to become rooted and grounded in Kingdom leadership and service.
Rooted in Godly principles and directives, we want to do all we can to train our people to advance the Kingdom of God here on our earth and live purposeful and successful lives.
