layman's bible training program

Louisiana Baptist University and Seminary offers the Layman’s Bible Training Program to those who want to increase their witness and ministry effectiveness without completing a degree program.

 

One of Satan’s tools that he uses against Christians is their lack of Bible knowledge. The number one reason believers do not share their faith is the fear of being asked questions they cannot answer. As believers we should always be prepared to give an answer for our faith (1 Peter 1:15). This study will increase your capacity to understand Scripture, to share the Gospel, and to minister within your church.

 

The curriculum consists of ten college-level courses that you complete at your own pace from anywhere in the world. Upon completion of the program, you may participate in our annual commencement ceremony.

 

The cost for the entire program is $1200, which is payable over time. Those who decide to pursue a degree have the option to transfer all thirty credit hours into a bachelor program by paying an alignment fee.
