Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the online home of Veritas Bible College & Theological Seminary!
Founded in 1997, VBCTS is committed to a vision of ministry training that is theologically sound, financially affordable, and rooted in the life of the student’s congregation and family. It is the firm conviction of the VBCTS board of directors and faculty that preparation for ministry to the local church should be supported by the local church and conducted in such a way that keeps the student in the local church. To that end, all programs of study are designed to be completed without uprooting the student from his current church and community. VBCTS is not, however, a distance learning or correspondence school, wherein the student is essentially self-directed and alone in their studies. Rather, through a combination of regionally-based monthly small group seminars and worship labs, assigned readings, and an ongoing practicum in their local church, students are cultivated toward the ideal of a pastor-scholar – one who is competent in both the hard and soft skills of ministry. Our singular goal is to graduate passionate, godly men who will nurture and serve a local congregation as capable stewards among the flock of the Good Shepherd, rightly handling the Word of God and faithfully administering the sacraments.
All VBCTS degree programs are taught from a historically orthodox and evangelical perspective, emphasizing what are commonly called the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation: Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria. These Latin phrases are best summarized as teaching that, based on the Scripture Alone as our ultimate authority in faith and practice, we believe that salvation is by Grace Alone through Faith Alone as demonstrated by faithfulness to Christ Alone and to the Glory of God Alone.
