What our students say about the Biblical and Theological Studies program

“Biblical and Theological Studies has given me the opportunity to deepen my relationship with Christ through simply being in class and learning the content.  The professors are truly amazing and so overqualified for their jobs; I’ve been able to apply everything I’ve been taught to heart and grow in the way I live.  My community here is large with my classes, sport, and job, but all of it has allowed me to pour into a variety of people and be connected to Christ-minded people who are on fire for the Lord.”

Luke Butler, Class of 2027
