Program Highlights

Goals

When you choose this program, you will develop competencies in five areas needed for a life of ministry and leadership:

1. Describe the significance of the Bible’s major characters and events as well as the Bible’s principal theological themes.
2. Defend the Bible’s authority as an infallible guide for matters of faith and practice.
3. Apply the principles of the inductive Bible study method to analyze any type of Biblical text.
4. Master the method of theological synthesis (from the exegesis of biblical texts to systematic theology) in order to formulate sound theological positions.
5. Commit to personal, intellectual, and spiritual transformation through the demonstration of core values.

Distinctives

Gain real-world experience with a Biblical Studies internship.
We don’t want you to just graduate, we want you to graduate employable. Every student will get real-world work experience through an internship in the field. Your program chair and the Office of Calling & Vocation will help you secure an internship that’s right for you.

Approach Biblical Studies from a Pentecostal perspective.
You will learn and grow in a Christ-Centered Community where every student, staff, and faculty member is committed to a Christian faith. Courses are taught with a Pentecostal perspective, preparing you to be a Spirit-empowered leader.

Learn from expert faculty and benefit from small class sizes.
Classes are taught by highly qualified faculty with education and experience in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 13 to 1, meaning you won’t be in large lecture halls, but small classes where you get personal interaction with your professors and peers.
