CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION

Certificates may be earned while pursuing the Master Bible Diploma or independent of the Diploma studies. If you have a series preference, be sure to indicate this when you REGISTER.

Our main offering is the Master Bible Diploma. To earn this diploma the student must complete 24 classes, each with a passing grade. Classes cover a variety of subjects that gives the student a well-rounded understanding of God’s Word.  The program includes several required classes, such as, Bible Doctrine (4 classes), Old and New Testament Surveys, Hermeneutics, Evangelism, Missions, Christian Education, the Book of Acts, Baptist Polity and more. Students will also be able to choose from several electives that cover different Bible book studies, Apologetics, Church History, Church Music, Comparative Doctrine and much more. Each class consists of 14 classroom hours.

The Pastoral Tract is a fifth year offering for men who have completed the Master Bible Diploma and who desire to be better prepared to serve the Lord in vocational ministry.

To complete this tract the student will need to complete six additional classes.  The required classes for this tract are: Pastoral Theology, Pastoral Counseling, Homiletics, Apologetics, Greek Study Aids, and Comparative Doctrines.   If any of these classes were used as a general elective for the Master Bible Diploma then another general elective will need to be substituted to compete the required number of classes.

To graduate in four years the student will need to attend three classes each semester. Each semester is 14 weeks long. Each night is divided into two class periods. The first period is 2 hours long and the student will take 2 subjects, each for 7 weeks. The Second period, after chapel is 1 hour long and takes all 14 weeks.

PLEASE NOTE: The student wanting to graduate in four years should plan on taking all the required classes before enrolling in the electives.
