Greetings from Midwestern Seminary and College!  We’re honored that you have taken time to visit our website, and we pray that you will find all the information pertinent toward making your decision about theological education.  The Midwestern family is incredible, from our students and their families to the faculty and staff, God is truly moving in a great way here! I would like to personally invite you to visit our campus to see what this is all about!

Fall semester is in full swing.  Our students are studying hard, and all of our campus organizations/ ministries, including the Midwestern Evangelism Teams, are being diligent to present themselves approved to God. Upcoming chapel services include guest speakers, Dr. Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, on Sept. 14, and then Dr. Blake Hearson, MBTS professor of Old Testament and Hebrew on Sept. 20 and Dr. David McAlpin, MBTS V.P. of Student Development, on Sept. 21.  Weekly chapel events are open to all, so please join us! Additionally, upcoming seminary happenings include our Evangelism Week activities on Sept. 27-28, a 400thanniversary celebration of the King James Bible on Oct. 4-6 and the “Evangelizing Eastern Religions” workshop on Oct. 14-15.  Please click on our website's homepage banners for more details about these upcoming events.

As President, I have many opportunities to host seminary events and travel to spread the great news of what God is doing at Midwestern.  My upcoming schedule includes preaching at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary on Sept. 18.  Please pray for God’s Spirit to move greatly during that service.  Then, I will be hitting the road on Sept. 19-20 to attend the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee meeting.

If you are considering Midwestern as your choice for pursuing theological education, please contact us to schedule a personalized campus visit by calling (816) 414-3738.  Schedule pending, I strive to meet each of you and field your questions. We are honored by your desire to learn more about Midwestern.  As you seek direction toward your ministry calling, may the Lord richly bless you!

Yours and His,

Phil Roberts' Signature
