SOS exists to glorify God by training men so they will be able shepherd themselves, their families and the body of Christ to know the joyous all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ and thus make Disciples of Christ who in turn will make Christ known to others (John 10:10; 13:34; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Timothy 3:4-5; Ephesians 4:11-16; 5:25-28; 6:4; Philemon).
There is discussion and interaction over the biblical truth we are learning including how to apply it in our lives, families and church. There is also a time of worship and prayer.
Students are shepherded by an Elder, periodically interacting with them in a ministry setting and encouraged to apply what they are learning with their spouse and children.
