Subjects are offered in the arts and sciences, though Pillsbury is not primarily a liberal arts college. Students are encouraged to receive their education in a recognized Christian profession. All students major in Bible and prepare to serve effectively in local churches. This doctrinal position is based on a belief in the absolute authority of the Bible. Since a well-disciplined individual will be a more useful servant of the Lord, Pillsbury students are taught in a disciplined atmosphere.
Biblical principles permeate the classroom and campus life.
As a Baptist Bible college, the institution believes in the literal exposition of all the affirmations and attitudes of the Bible, as well as the militant exposure of those which are unbiblical. In order to be saved, sinners must be regenerated or born again. Speaking in tongues is not a manifestation of the Holy Spirit today. Both Christian baptism and the Lord's Supper are each a memorial, a symbol, and a prophecy. The six days of creation in Genesis 1 were solar days of twenty-four hours each.
