Flowing from this purpose is a more specific statement of mission:
Western Seminary serves as a catalyst and resource for spiritual transformation by providing, with and for the church, advanced training for strategic ministry roles.
To be truly effective, Christian organizations must discern what distinctive contribution God would have them make to His kingdom program. To try to do everything is both foolish and arrogant. Western, therefore, focuses its ministry upon providing advanced training to individuals who aspire to, or currently serve in, especially strategic ministry roles. In so doing, Western seeks to be both a proactive influence and an ongoing source of support for the body of Christ as it matures spiritually and increases in fruitfulness. While this ministry seeks to serve the church, it is also done in active partnership with the church, believing that local congregations occupy a unique place of priority in the outworking of God's redemptive plan. Biblical synergy results when the distinctive resources of the seminary and church unite in this equipping task.
