Covenant Bible College & Theological Seminary

Covenant Bible College & Theological Seminary was established in January of 2004 for the purpose of providing quality and affordable Biblical/Theological Degree Programs for those who labor in Ministry. We are a "non-denominational" institution of higher learning. However, we subscribe to, practice, teach and preach the doctrines of the Christian Faith. Covenant Bible College & Theological Seminary is recognized as the official educational institution of the United Assemblies of Christ International.

Accreditation:

Although the word "seminary," may imply graduate training for higher institutional learning, the Seminary has been established for the sole purpose of issuing credentials to men and women as certified, licensed and ordained professional ministers. Covenant Bible College & Theological Seminary is a subordinate ministry/auxiliary of United Assemblies of Christ International, which is filed with the IRS as an exempt church/educational ministry. With this status we may train, as well as license and ordain and commission Churches through the United Assemblies of Christ International.

Our emphasis is not to achieve secular accreditation, although we issue degrees for ministry purposes only. Our mission is to equip the minister with practical education for his/her ministry. We continue in this practical path as the means of fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
