Programs

Our academics are designed to help you develop a firm foundation of faith in the context of a strong community of believers. Every student starts with the Diploma in Biblical Studies program, and then has the option to apply for the second year program, earning them an Associates degree in Christian Leadership and Ministry. 

  • Learn the structure of the Bible, the story of the Old Testament, foundational Christian theology, spiritual formation and personal evangelism.
