The purpose of the Bible Certificate is to provide a basic course of study that will give students an opportunity to survey the
entire Bible and to have a foundation in basic doctrine, principles for Christian life, ministry, and a biblical worldview. The
program satisfies the requirement of one year of biblical studies for many mission agencies.

•
A minimum 18 hours of Bible, theology, and a worldview development.

Satisfactory evidence of sound Christian character and doctrinal views. Students will not be accepted as

Exception: A candidate need not affirm the
premillennial position expressed in section 8 of the Doctrinal Standard
