Ordination Upon successful completion of a degree course with SBU Theological Seminary, seminarians will be encouraged to receive an ordination from any of the affiliates of True Grace Ministries and the ceremony of the laying on of hands by Southern Baptist University Ministries. These ordinations are recognized by the United States Government; they are legal in all 50 states. SBU Theological Seminary's faculty members are also ministers of the affiliates of True Grace Ministries; a nondenominational Christian organization advocating freedom of religion and faith in God led by Rev. Ken Allen. Students must understand that the objective of these ordinations are not for the credentials itself but for the purpose of advocating the freedom of Religion. As ordained ministers, seminary graduates are authorized by the church to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church (except circumcision), including weddings, funerals, baptisms and blessings, subject to the laws of their country, state, or locality. Prior to conducting any civil ceremony (such as marriages), graduates should know and comply with the laws pertaining to their area of jurisdiction. Contact SBU Theological Seminary does not have a permanent office of its own due to the nature of its ministry. The seminary is to a high extent mobile and incorporate its programs into local churches. Incorporating a program into a local open church in Malaysia for instance can result in it becoming a permanent feature of that particular Church and can become a permanent base of the Seminary for the people in that particular area. However this cannot be so for house churches. It must shift from church to church as the spirit leads for the safety of its members; all the more if its an 'American' bible based program! The seminary's web page however is the spiritual center that centralizes seminarians from both open and house churches all over Asia. As stated at the beginning, the primary objective of the seminary is to centralize seminarians and scholars from both open and house churches for the purpose of ministerial, biblical and theological study and research as well as for spiritual, mental and emotional development as it is not easy or rather almost impossible for house churches to have a spiritual center other than through a web page through which they can have dialog, get to know other church members, discuss doctrinal issues, have spiritual fellowship and grow in the greater body of Christ.
