Learn to shepherd from shepherds right among the flock.

We believe in faithful shepherds training future shepherds how to wisely shepherd. Most of our seminary professors have served as elders in the church, and the vocational pastors in our globally-minded network of churches serve our students as mentors and overseers in the task of pastoral ministry.

Academic expectations that respect your sacrifice.

At Bethlehem you will be tested to the limits of your abilities. You will be required to do a massive amount of reading, be prepared for rigorous classroom interaction, and be expended in service to Christ’s church. You will undertake one of the most rigorous programs of biblical language instruction offered in American seminary education, today.

One of the lowest tuitions in American Christian Higher Education.

Launch upon graduation into adulthood, life, ministry, and vocation without a burden of student loan debt, financially unshackled and ready to answer immediately God’s call on your life.
