Training Leaders To Make A World of Difference.
|
The BTh is available to students who qualify for one of the following two programs:
Leaders Track
Leaders Track is a fast track program which offers credit for ministry experience. This B.Th. program provides advanced leadership development for mature students who may lack academic background, but who have demonstrated leadership qualities, Bible study disciplines, spiritual gifting, and proven ministry skills. At PLBC, these qualities are considered evidence of practical learning, so students who meet the program requirements are awarded advanced standing for the accelerated Bachelor of Theology degree. The qualifying applicant must be 30 years of age or older, be a high school graduate (or equivalent) and have at least 5 years of full-time church leadership experience (or 5000 hours in lay leadership). Some approved Bible College courses may be transferable. No practicum credits will be awarded in this program. Please note that there are special application procedures for this program, which includes an advanced Bible Knowledge Exam, an English Proficiency Exam, and an evaluation of ministry experience by the Academic Review Committee.
Degree Upgrade
Degree Upgrade is a fast track program which offers students credit for their academic experience. Students who have already completed an undergraduate degree in a field other than Bible or Theology may apply under this program. The objectives of this track are the same as the general objectives of the four-year programs. Adding a second baccalaureate degree in theology allows the student to integrate their background in general studies with a concentration of biblical studies and specific ministry interests. Evaluation of transfer credits will always be done in light of Pacific Life Bible College's degree requirements. Whenever transfer courses do not meet our core and/or non-transferable requirements, students will need to make up these courses beyond the 64 credits required for the Bachelor of Theology degree.
Program Overview
It is expected that by the completion of these program requirements the student will have:
- Expanded their views of ministry in a postmodern world.
- Added to their knowledge and experience further skills in church leadership.
- Prepared themselves as a lifelong learner and teacher of the Scriptures.
- Discovered, through assessments, their personal leadership style and practice.
- Qualified academically to pursue further ministerial and theological seminary programs and licensing with certain ministerial licensing associations.
