One Year Certificate
SBC's one-year Certificate of Biblical Studies is designed to provide a solid foundation of Biblical, theological and applied ministry studies. It is designed for those who want to immerse themselves in the focused study of God and His Word and want to give one year of their lives in determined pursuit of God—learning His Word, understanding His ways and experiencing His power.

During this year of foundational studies the student will focus on significant Bible exploration, and will discover the key features of spiritual giftedness and evangelism, be introduced to the heartbeat of God for world missions, and engage with the cardinal doctrines of the faith. Students will also be motivated in Christian service and worship as they explore an overview of the Word of God, the ways of God and the Work of God, in and through the power of God.

During this year students will engage in the following areas of study with the following approximate minimum credit values:

Bible 18 credits
Theology 6 credits
Practical Theology/Leadership Studies 13 credits
Global Outreach 6 credits
General Studies 2 credits
Practical Ministry 3 credits
