Mission
To Train (concentrating only in the area of Practical Theology and Ministry), Recognize and Ordain pastors and religious leaders in parts of Asia that do not have access to (open) seminary education.
To provide an opportunity for ministers already in ministry to pursue a ministerial-degree independently from anywhere through a self study and discipleship system by which they are examined and judged individually for each course that they pursue by an approved tutor.
To provide a head start for Ministers who do not have a Theological-Seminary background and an opportunity for them to pursue a ministerial degree tuition-free because Theological education is the right of every minister.

Description
The right to the Freedom of Religion is not available in every part of Asia. Southern Baptist University (SBU) Theological Seminary aka PD Seminary is a Baptist human rights and house church based online teaching ministry system primarily to Train, Recognize and Ordain underground leaders in these parts of the world. SBU specializes only in Practical Theology and Ministry.
SBU's mission is to provide a head start for ministers who do not have a Theological-Seminary background who can when opportunity presents pursue a degree from a more established or accredited Theological Seminary.
SBU is also committed to being an Interfaith Institute due to the ministerial circumstances in Asia which require that graduates attain extensive knowledge in world religions such as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism etc.
SBU is volunteer based and is managed by a board of Ministers.
SBU is committed to historic baptist principles and takes as its theological framework the first recognized confession of faith that Southern Baptists produced, The Abstract of Principles and encourages the return to and promulgation of the biblical gospel that the Southern Baptist forefathers held dear.
