West Virginia Baptist Convention

School of Christian Studies ADVANCED Level of Study

"CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIAN LEADER"

Upcoming Class Information is listed below in the Items of Interest Section.

WHY AN ADVANCED LEVEL?

Of the 115 graduates of the West Virginia Baptist Convention School of Christian Studies, many of our students so hunger to keep learning that they take the current courses over and over again.

In the spirit of this, the deans and advisory team of the School of Christian Studies have initiated the School of Christian Studies ADVANCED Level of Study. 

Since the basic disciplines are covered at the basic level of the School of Christian Studies, like most advanced levels of study, these courses will give the students the opportunity to study where they feel the greatest  need and interest.  In accord with this philosophy, the selection of courses to be offered will be driven by:

1.) requests of students and

2.) disciplines needed for well-rounded ministry as determined by the deans and director with input by leading pastors and potential presenters.

 

The School of Christian Studies has branched

out from our standard ministry program and

 started an ADVANCED Level of Study. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mission of the West Virginia

Baptist Convention School of Christian

Studies is to bring honor

and glory  to God by

developing quality

church leaders, through

     training that will help

them grow in

spiritual maturity,

     biblical knowledge

and ministry skills.

 

 

The West Virginia Baptist Convention School of Christian Studies is open to all persons.  Anyone may take course(s) for their own general improvement.  It is not necessary to be a teacher, youth worker or pastor to benefit from a course of study.
