Graduate Programs
We believe the goal of Christian education is to seek to bring students to spiritual maturity and make them complete in Christ. The purpose of our programs is to seek to enrich the student’s personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, impart to the student a thorough knowledge of God’s Word, and prepare the student to be an effective leader who is able to rightly divide the Word of God.
