Broadband allows more enhanced viewing and is recommended but is not required.  Student can use broadband or dial-up.

Can the classes be counted towards college credit?

Yes they can.  Our ministry has a relationship with an excellent accredited Christian college that would allow our credits towards a degree.  For more information call @ 302-324-5400 x1235

What distinguishes the School of Biblical Studies from all the other training facilities, Bible schools, and Christian colleges?

God’s plan for the School of Biblical Studies and the School of Ministerial Training began in the fall of 1984 when He spoke to Dr. Gary Whetstone to open a Bible School that would train the Body to become effective ministers of God’s Word.  During much time of prayer and observation of other Bible Schools around the country, vision and objectives were established so that you, as a believer, will receive the accurate, rightly divided Word of Truth.

The purpose of these intensive courses of study is to enable you to live successfully in every area of your life and to empower you to reach those around you with the power of God’s Word.  Whether you attend for the purpose of full-time ministry or to promote personal growth, the curricula will equip you to advance the Kingdom of God both in a lost and dying world and in the Body of Christ.

What type of video and audio formats do you support?

We currently only support windows media formats (.wmv) for only video. For video, please download the latest version of Window Media Player. Let us know if you have any questions concerning a specific format.

How do I obtain textbooks for the courses?
