It is the mission of Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Virginia Beach to equip each student for local church ministry and missions worldwide through biblical academic training in a ministry-based environment that seeks to honor the Lord Jesus Christ and to uphold His inerrant word.

The seminary mission statement is conceptualized in the slogan, Sharpening Servants for Global Ministry. We fulfill our mission by a compassionate commitment to the text of Scripture taught in the context of a local church. It is our desire to understand and to apply the New Testament rule of life, the grace of God to every aspect of life and ministry.
