The aim and purpose of STM is to develop a curriculum that would provide for a holistic training in academic studies, practical and pastoral skills, enrichment of public worship and growth in personal devotion. Academic training is only one part of the total Seminary curriculum. The overall goal is to be used by God to train pastors and other church workers to become emotionally and spiritually mature and to acquire sufficient intellectual and practical skills to carry out the tasks required of them in the Church and the nation. One is therefore reminded that the total curriculum consists of the following aspects:

1. Spiritual Formation
2. Academic Studies
3. Field Education Program
4. Tutorial System
5. Community Life: Living together, games, chores, etc.
