| Feature One
96 CREDIT HOURS of Bible, Theology and Practical Church Ministry

Bible-College-degreed-program.)

Pastorate,
Practicum (Time Management, Leadership Skills, Budgeting), Family,

Feature THREE
THE BIBLE IS THE TEXTBOOK! Although Supportive Books are Often Recommended
or Required, and Prepared Class Notes for Safe Keeping in Notebooks

in the Bible Classes, STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT DIRECTLY FROM AN OPEN
BIBLE!
Feature FOUR
A Week of CONCENTRATED STUDY Each Semester! Regular classes are
suspended for
a week while sessions are conducted on vital ministry-related subjects.

A "Preachers-Training-Preachers" Meth- odolgy to Faculty!
(Who is better prepared
to teach and train preachers than preachers?)
Feature SIX
A PERSONABLE FACULTY That TEACHES WITH FERVENCY and Is Interested
in Every Student’s Spiritual Development. (In a school that is strong
enough to be professional,
but small enough to be personal, the instructors (12-14) are able
to build relationships
with students.)
Feature SEVEN
4-DAYS-A-WEEK CLASS SCHEDULE! Tuesday through Friday, 7:00 AM to
12 NOON.
(This promotes family time as well as allowing more time for work.)

words, both lectures of a given course are given once, the same
day – before or after chapel.
7:00-9:00 AM – First Two Sessions, 9:10-9:50 AM – Chapel, 10:00-12
Noon –
Second Two Sessions. (This adds even more flexibility to your schedule!)

practical and
doctrinal instruction as well as inspiration!)

Feature TWELVE
LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Located in the Economically Healthy/Spiritually
Historic City of Ft. Worth! (This translates into a solid job market!
It also means that
in an area known for decades as a hotbed for Baptist fundamentalism
there are
numerous vibrant churches – one, in which there will be the opportunity
to serve, and consequently receive additional “on-the-job” training!)
Feature THIRTEEN
J. FRANK NORRIS HERITAGE! By Way of Location, Philosophy, Curriculum,
Recordings, Archives and Former Associates!
