We Have A New Way Of Doing Seminary…
GBS Vision Banquet:
Church-Based Theological Education:
Grace Biblical Seminary is excited to offer the cutting edge of theological education by partnership with like-minded pastors and churches worldwide. The training of pastors, evangelists, missionaries and other church leaders according to the New Testament model… takes place in the local church setting. Much of the church has gotten away from this paradigm, and trains its future leaders by sending them to an educational institution away from the local body.
Our desire is to partner with pastors, church leaders and churches for the advancement of the gospel and in the training of servant-leaders for a variety of vocational and volunteer church-oriented ministries locally and worldwide. This partnership complements the ministry of local churches with Grace Biblical Seminary.
We Offer Three Levels of Theological Higher Education…
Bible Institute Division:
At Grace Biblical Seminary, we believe there is a need to train up leaders, not just full-time ministers. Our Certificate and Diploma programs are designed to help men and women prepare for non-vocational Christian ministry in their local Church.
The mission of GBS Bible Institute is to bring glory to God by assisting local churches to equip believers who are committed to the proclamation of the Gospel of God’s free grace. This equipping includes the integration of Biblical knowledge and ministry application. You will be challenged in your walk with God like never before. The training you receive will lay a solid foundation for the rest of your life.

At Grace Biblical Seminary, we believe there is a need to train up leaders for vocational ministry. Academic programs are rigorous and challenging. Students are taught by faculty with years of experience in their fields. Our mission is to produce graduates who are biblically grounded, spiritually mature and culturally relevant. At GBS, we provide the opportunity for you to secure a strong Biblical foundation for Christian living and service.
Our degree programs are designed to help men and women prepare for Christian ministry in local church and para-church settings, this program provides students with in-depth study of biblical leadership principles and strategies and intensive study in the scriptures and essential truths of the Christian faith. Emphasis is placed on understanding and utilizing the core values, knowledge and skills needed to effectively serve in a variety of ministries within the local church or in para-church ministries.
The purpose of GBS is to produce competent Bible expositors who are qualified to serve God effectively as pastors, teachers, missionaries, or non-vocational leaders in other areas of Christian ministry.
GBS Learning Centers…
Pastor(s) brings face-to-face interaction and additional instruction, guidance and encouragement to GBS distance/online students.
The GBS Faculty will continue to interact with students on-campus, online, and Learning Centers.
Proctoring service is available at each learning center for our online/distance students.
Affiliation is open to churches that subscribe to our doctrinal statement and agree to work together graciously and enthusiastically by praying, promoting, recruiting students, supporting the seminary financially and implementing strategies to advance the educational purpose of the seminary. It is not an exclusive relationship, but it does provide a framework for regular dialogue between our partners and the seminary.
We affirm the Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the inspired Word of God and is therefore inerrant in the autographs. Furthermore, God is a Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory. As members of this tradition, we are concerned about the clear understanding, presentation, and advancement of the Gospel of God’s Free Grace and Classical Free Grace Theology.
Our prayer is that you would be blessed and strengthened by the power of Jesus Christ and that you will life a live of abundance in fellowship, joy and liberty. May God richly bless you!
