Benefits of Having a Bible College at Your Church

If you are a pastor or ministry leader, you likely juggle a variety of roles and responsibilities. Running a Bible college might sound like the last thing you would want to add to your to-do list.

But here’s a secret: Having a Bible school is not as difficult or time-consuming as you think!

When you partner with Christian Life School of Theology Global (CLSTG), we take care of all the details to make sure your new school is a success. From admissions to course programming and grading, our team handles the administrative tasks so you can focus on your students.

So, what’s in it for you and your church? While there are many benefits to having your own Bible college, here are three top advantages:

1. Biblical Literacy

A study by the American Bible Society showed a startling decrease in the number of people who are reading God’s Word. From 2021 to 2022, nearly 26 million Americans reduced or stopped their interaction with Scripture. A statistic like this one makes it safe to assume that some of your churchgoers are not opening their Bibles outside of Sunday mornings.

Launching a Bible college draws attention to the importance of exploring the depths of Scripture. With more than 250 courses to choose from, students can select the topics that interest them most. From foundational biblical principles to hot topics like sexuality, our course catalog has something for every stage of one’s spiritual journey.

2. Ministry Multiplication

Are you looking for more church members to catch your vision and pursue active roles in ministry? Your Bible school will equip people to take the next step as leaders and facilitators within the church and beyond. Our programs are specifically designed for busy adult learners with kids, careers and other obligations. We aim to remove the barriers to higher education by offering a flexible open enrollment system and affordable pricing.

Students can work toward an associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree. We also offer ministry licensing, ordination and a variety of ministry certificates. With so many options available, your congregation will be empowered to seek the unique calling God has placed on each of their lives.

3. Additional Funding

One of the most popular perks of becoming a CLSTG partner school is our Tuition Share Program. Once you have registered a minimum of five students, you receive a portion of the tuition fees, which can be poured back into your ministry. This additional source of income comes with minimal effort on your part!
