Graduate Program
About
Summary
Explore our philosophy of graduate education, theological distinctives, and theological method and biblical worldview development.
We Believe That
- A deeper understanding of the Bible leads to more powerful preaching and meaningful worship.
- Bible-centered education brings stability to both minister and ministry and reduce ministry burn-out.
- If a pastor grows spiritually, so will his parishioners.
- Lay people need to be equipped to evangelize and disciple the lost.
- We need advanced biblical training to respond to objections to the Bible.
Distinctives
- We are submitted to the authority of God’s inerrant, infallible Word. The authority of Scripture is not a slogan we advertise. It’s the reality we live. Our words on paper reflect our work in the classroom and our lives in the world.
- We are committed to a contextually-sound, Spirit-illumined exegesis, Spirit-anointed exposition, and Spirit-empowered application. Study of the Bible and its theology should result in practical transformation and humility.
- We are unashamed to be Wesleyan-Arminian in theology and passionate about Spirit-filled, holy living.
