The Bible Church of Christ Theological Institute courses of study take a Seminary approach and Bible Institute approach.  The Theological Institute has two levels: undergraduate and graduate.  A certificate of completion is awarded to a student who successfully completes a course of study within the Seminary Program.  You might also earn a certificate to give a foundation and prerequisite needed to get a degree.

 

The BCCI provides the following study programs. Our BCCTI offers Bible classes for Bible students who are not generally focused on earning a degree in biblical studies. All classes are open to all who want to advance in their personal study of the Bible or to share with congregations or study groups. However, each person must receive permission from the BCCTI to copy materials or resources. Certificates will be awarded for these classes upon completion and can be provided from our administrative offices. Classes can also be taken following a specific course of study for those seeking a degree. These courses are regularly being improved and refined to meet the needs of ministry.

​

The BCCTI offers two programs of study in the Graduate Program. Current BCCTI undergraduates can apply for admission upon completion of their undergraduate degree.
