Emphases Jesus, the master teacher, used a wide variety of educational techniques in the development of his twelve disciples. He taught His disciples by placing them in real- life situations where they learned by firsthand experience. By combining these three elements of Jesus discipling style in our programs, we strive to provide an optimal learning environment where God can truly mold students into leaders for the cause of Christ. The classes of all academic programs are designed to give students a solid biblical and theological foundation and creatively help connect that foundation to their lives and ministries.
Students receive verbal classroom instruction from qualified instructors who model what they teach.
Instructional methods include lectures by resident and visiting faculty, discussions, role-play, case studies, reading assignments, research, classroom presentations, papers, action points, comprehensive exams and written projects. A solid academic emphasis is at the heart of all that is done in the Seminary.
