Southern Evangelical Seminary is a Christian college and seminary that started in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1992, United States. In April of 2025, the schools moved to Rock Hill, SC.[1]

History

The seminary was established in 1992 by Norman Geisler and Ross Rhoads. The college, Southern Evangelical Bible College (SEBC), was established in 2004. SES has also been a member organization of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability since 1999.[2]

Southern Evangelical Seminary is notable for the large number of faculty, students, and alumni who have converted to Roman Catholicism, partly through the emphasis placed on the work of Thomas Aquinas.[3][4] A collection of these conversion testimonies, Evangelical Exodus: Evangelical Seminarians and Their Paths to Rome, was published by Ignatius Press in 2016.[5]
