Jesus gave to his church a Great Commission. Until the end of the age, the church is to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, making disciples, baptizing and teaching them the word of the Living God.

The Center for Missions and Evangelism embodies the Seminary’s vision for assisting the church in carrying out the Great Commission through theological education that focuses on perpetuating faithfully reformed, confessional churches, church plants, and foreign mission fields.

1) Mid-America Reformed Seminary is a self-consciously Reformed and confessional school that serves the church through training pastors for faithful, ordinary means of grace ministries at home and abroad. 2) Our primary purpose is to serve the church of our Lord Jesus Christ by providing our students with the kind of training, learning, and equipping that students need to be ministers of the gospel—the good news of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
