Samford Ministry Training Institute
at Westwood

SMTI is a non-degree program that equips ministers and lay leaders for service in God's Kingdom through quality biblical, theological, and practical ministry education.  

We offer an array of educational opportunities including a variety of online certificates and extension courses administered all over the southeast. Each course, seminar or workshop is biblically based and administered with the highest quality and integrity. Highly qualified and experienced instructors lead each educational opportunity.

Rarely do we find a comprehensive study on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Sometimes the task seems too daunting. This course is designed to give students a survey of the life of Jesus using a harmonious approach with the Gospel narratives. From his pre-incarnate ministry to his ascension this survey will examine the various highlights of his life and ministry for students to better understand our commitment to him through our Christian witness.

As the second generation of Israelites prepares to enter the Promised Land, Moses delivers several discourses to prepare them to effectively live as people who are loyal and loving to God. This course examines these discourses found in the book of Deuteronomy. The course will offer a chapter-by-chapter exegesis of the book while examining the main themes, historical context, and application for the Christian today.
