PARTNERSHIPS
Theological Training Rooted in the Local Church
We believe that the local church is the primary context of the Spirit’s renewing work, including the equipping and affirmation of aspiring leaders. God has called the church in Opelika and Auburn, Alabama to equip those he is calling and sending out. We endeavor to be "of, by, and for the church" in our community. Therefore, we strive to ensure that our training process is truly rooted in the local church. We do so in the following ways:
- Our faculty are local pastors, church planters, ministry leaders, and missionaries on home assignments.
- Our practicum and mentoring program are designed to be worked out in the life and ministry of each student’s local church.
- Our program provides a structure and process for local church internships or residencies.

"A call to gospel ministry is a call to prepare. Excellence and effectiveness in gospel ministry is enhanced by the kind of preparation afforded by formal theological training. Christ Our Redeemer Seminary provides a Christ-centered, Bible-based preparation taught by a faculty who are academically trained and who are deeply involved in their respective churches.”
- Al Jackson, Pastor Emeritus, Lakeview Baptist Church
