Experiential Learning
This mission is expressed as we practice our core values: the Bible is the foundation for learning, discipleship is the process of learning, community is the context of learning and mission is the purpose of learning.
Service Learning
Each semester our students step out into various ministries in the local community to serve through our Service Learning program. This practical hands-on learning deepens student understanding of what they are learning in the classroom.

Mission Experience
In February of every year, students are exposed to the needs of people in a variety of cross-cultural settings. Our students consistently point to the MissionX program as being some of the most significant learning times of their college experience. MissionX is an important part of helping equip students for church ministry. This practical, hands-on, service opportunity challenges students with global needs both far and near, while also helping them discover their own particular giftedness and ministry interests.
Practicum
Practicum offers supervised ministry experience, reading, and written reflection totalling 150 hours of ministry and reflection in the student’s area of interest.
Internship
An internship provides intensive supervised ministry experience, reading, and written reflection in the student’s major field of study. Internships may be one semester full-time or as much as two years part-time.
- SM300 Internship I=150 hours
- SM400 Internship II=200 hours
- SM450 Internship III-250 hours
Mission Exposure
SBC’s annual MissionX is a vital experiential component of what we are about at SBC. As such it has become a special signature of our desire to help students consistently integrate what they are learning at a practical, ministry level.
