Kenwood Hall
Kenwood Hall is a church-based training program that provides in-person discipleship and spiritual formation through core classes, Saturday seminars, Table Talks, reading groups, pastoral internship cohorts, and more. Kenwood Hall classes, internships, and residency are open to members of Kenwood Baptist Church.
Anchor Classes
Each Fall and Spring, Kenwood Hall offers core classes, or Anchor Classes, that provide a biblical and theological foundation for ministry. The four core classes are: (Fall 1) Biblical Theology of Genesis, (Fall 2) Baptist Ecclesiology, (Spring 1) Biblical Theology of Romans, and (Spring 2) Reformed Theology. These anchor classes can be taken for accredited transfer credit to Southern Seminary.
Reading Group
Every Fall and Spring term, participants in the Kenwood Hall read a book together for theological and spiritual formation. The institute provides each participant with the book to be read over the term. At the end of each term, we gather in the home to discuss and reflect over a meal together.
Seminars
Kenwood Hall seminars are topically organized and practically focused classes to offer on-the-ground theological discipleship on front-line cultural and ecclesial issues.
Table Talk
During each term, Kenwood Hall gathers for Table Talks for fellowship and rich theological discussion. On the first Wednesday of every month, August–May, meets at Kenwood Baptist Church at 7am for a Table Talk breakfast; and on the third Wednesday of every month we meet on campus at SBTS at 12pm for a Table Talk lunch.

Learn from the best
Kenwood Hall Seminars are designed to equip believers on front-line theological and cultural issues. We don’t shy away from the tough questions, and we don’t think you should either.
