Library

Our temporary library space is located on the second floor of the Education Center at our Missouri campus. This collection contains approximately 8,000 carefully curated volumes, including select journals and a well-developed Reference section. The collection’s particular strengths are in Biblical Studies, Patristics, Church History, Philosophy, and Theology. The library’s catalogue is accessible online.      

Full online access to hundreds of thousands of e-books, thousands of journals, and millions of academic articles, all searchable through our common portal, SouvaySearch.  

Online instruction, reference, and research support to guide you through your academic needs.

Scanning, interlibrary loan, and purchase request services to obtain whatever materials you may require.
