Undergraduate Evening School

The Seminary operates an Evening School where the Bachelor of Ministry degree is an Evening School offered. The classes and qualifications are the same in quality, content and level of study as that offered during the daytime and include preparation for the ministry in general, but also cover the studies required to fulfill the requirements for Baptist Union ministry recognition. Since the Bachelor of Theology includes a study of the biblical languages (Greek and Hebrew), the Seminary is only able to offer the Bachelor of Ministry (BMin) at this stage. The four-year BMin degree is offered over a period of five years. Other courses of study may be added in years to come.

Any prior studies in theology will be evaluated for possible credit towards the BMin. The Seminary cannot give credit for more than 50% towards the completion of the BMin degree.

Lecturers:

The Seminary is using its full-time faculty to teach some of the subjects, while it has access to many qualified and gifted part-time lecturers to teach in the Evening School. The Seminary is committed to maintain a high academic and spiritual standard for all of its programmes in order to prepare men and women for quality ministry.
