Ministry training & network certification
We are not an accredited university. We are a ministry training program preparing our people for Christian service and the mission field. Successful completion, together with leadership review, leads to ministry certification for service within our network of churches. This is an internal church-network credential, not an academic degree, professional license, ordination, or a guarantee of employment or ministry placement.
January 2027 cohortRegistration inquiries are open. Programs, tuition, and the January start are proposed and subject to institutional authorization, faculty readiness, and final approval. No admission or payment is completed through this inquiry page. Our diplomas and certificates recognize ministry training within our church network; no academic degree, college credit, transfer-credit, or professional eligibility claim is made.
Biblical depth. Local church practice.
A seminary structure shaped for our calling.
English/Haitian Creole discipleship, Haitian diaspora leadership, intergenerational ministry, and Gospel partnership in Enterprise and Daleville. These priorities shape our assignments, supervised placements, and final ministry projects.
Ministry & formation
Practice preaching, teaching, discipleship, evangelism, pastoral care, leadership, and intercultural communication. Demonstrate character and receive mentor feedback in a local church.
Research & supervised practice
Frame a ministry question, review sources, design an ethical project, evaluate evidence, and present a portfolio or project defense. More advanced work requires progressively stronger research and supervision.
Adapted academic sequence
- Foundation: Bible interpretation, doctrinal clarity, spiritual formation, research writing, and safeguards.
- Integration: Old and New Testament exposition, theology, history, Gospel witness, and a ministry major.
- Practice: Supervised teaching or service, leadership development, assessment, and revision.
- Advanced development: Research proposal, ministry intervention or portfolio, documented evaluation, and oral defense.
Ministry credentials with a clear purpose
We offer preparation for service and missions within our own network of churches. We do not offer associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral academic degrees. Diploma levels describe the length and depth of ministry training, not academic-degree equivalence. Network certification is awarded after assessment and leadership review; it does not automatically ordain or appoint a student.
Our curriculum development reference
We reviewed Liberty University’s public theological program structure for broad subject coverage, progressive study, and project-based completion. Our course frameworks and church assignments are original. These seminaries are independent: no Liberty affiliation, endorsement, accreditation, curriculum equivalence, access to Liberty resources, or transfer agreement is claimed.

Our doctrinal foundation
Baptist doctrine. A life of service.
Preparing our people and equipping them for future service. We train disciples to understand Scripture, embody Christlike character, serve their communities, develop leaders, and plant churches that make disciples.
Scripture & salvation
The Bible governs faith and practice. We teach the Trinity, Christ’s deity and humanity, His saving death and bodily resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith, expressed in repentance and new life.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Matthew 28:19 · Ephesians 2:8–10
The gathered church
We teach believer’s baptism by immersion, the Lord’s Supper as a memorial ordinance, regenerate church membership, local church autonomy, congregational responsibility, and qualified pastoral leadership.
Romans 6:3–4 · 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 · Acts 2:41–47
Witness & service
We teach religious liberty, the priesthood of believers, faithful stewardship, evangelism, missions, and disciples who equip others for ministry.
1 Peter 2:9 · Matthew 28:18–20 · Ephesians 4:11–16
Doctrinal study reference: Baptist Faith & Message 2000. Faculty will distinguish biblical teaching, Baptist confessional convictions, and matters of interpretation. This reference does not represent endorsement or accreditation by the Southern Baptist Convention.
Doctrine in every course
Each final portfolio must explain its biblical foundation, Baptist ecclesiology, Gospel witness, and contribution to disciple multiplication. Students connect classroom learning to supervised service in a local church.

Certification for our network of churches
We are not an accredited university. We are a ministry training program preparing our people for Christian service and the mission field. Successful completion, together with leadership review, leads to ministry certification for service within our network of churches. This is an internal church-network credential, not an academic degree, professional license, ordination, or a guarantee of employment or ministry placement.
Our 2-, 4-, and 6-year diploma pathways recognize progressive ministry preparation. Certification requires completion of the assigned studies, assessments, supervised ministry practice, and approval by designated church-network leaders. Each church determines role assignments, safeguarding requirements, and ongoing accountability.

Explore every course.
94 proposed courses: eight common-core courses, eight additional seminary electives, and three levels in each major. Open a course for its eight-week sequence, Scripture reading, project, and weekly assignments. These are detailed curriculum frameworks; faculty-led lessons, grading, and supervised placement must be arranged before classes begin.
Pastoral counseling: ministry scope
Pastoral counseling study equips students for nonclinical spiritual support, listening, prayer, boundaries, and referral within our church network. It does not confer a counseling license, qualify students to diagnose or treat mental disorders, or replace professional care. Youth and child ministry require approved safeguarding procedures, trained supervision, and church leadership review.
