School of Missions

One of the hallmarks of fulfilling the great commission is equipping missionaries to serve around the world. For 80 years, Southeastern University has sent missionaries to almost every continent (except Antarctica). At the SEU Carolina School of Missions, students will receive essential training to go unto the far corners of the world to become effective witnesses and servants to the lost and hurting. Our faculty members have also spent years in the mission field and are committed to passing on their knowledge and passion to our students. In addition to sending students around the globe, we have a thriving mission ministry currently in place on campus. Every year, students participate in local missions projects for life-changing experiences, both for our students and for the people they serve. We also partner with local organizations to feed the homeless, mentor kids and meet other needs in the community.
