Champion Baptist College Graduate Studies
The purpose of the Champion Baptist College master’s program is to provide students with an additional year of Biblical studies without losing a zeal for practical ministry. Our intent is not only to provide the student with facts and tools to make him a master of the curriculum but also to instill in him the heart of a minister to meet the needs of God’s people. The curriculum places a greater burden on the student to research the subject matter to better equip him for the ministry. Each student will learn to excel in roles of leadership in his Christian service.
The Master’s Degree of Biblical Studies is a 32-credit-hour program which includes studies in Advanced Hermeneutics, Advanced Homiletics, Baptist Distinctives and History of the Church, Leadership, Ministry Internship, Biblical Counseling, Pastoral Issues and Procedures, as well as personal, theological research. The completion of a thesis is required at the end of the program.
The Master’s Degree of Biblical Counseling is a 32-credit-hour program which includes studies in Biblical Counseling, Advanced Counseling, Leadership, Principles and Philosophies of Christian Living, Ministry Internship, Marriage and Family Counseling, Counseling Seminar, Crisis Counseling, and Counseling Addictive Behavior.
