Chancellor's Message
Let me introduce you to a wonderful opportunity. It is now possible for you to achieve the college or seminary training you have always wanted, and you don't have to give up your job or position with your church and move to a distant city. Bethany provides a comprehensive external study program allowing the student to have concentrations in areas such as Bible, Christian Education, Christian Counseling, Pastoral Ministry, Missions, and Theology. To supplement the external studies, Bethany also provides on-site courses, symposiums, seminars, and workshops. For the student who has access to a computer, it is possible to receive additional instruction through on-line classes. This approach is not new. Because of inflation and the lack of educational space, many leading colleges and universities are turning to this non-traditional approach. Through the programs offered by Bethany, pastors, evangelists, missionaries and Christian workers can find a full range of studies, which lead to earned degrees. Lessons are individually graded and whether the student attends on-site or studies through correspondence, personal attention is given to all. The programs offered by Bethany are based on regular college textbooks with study guides that act as motivators, leading the student into an in-depth and meaningful study of the Bible and Bible related subjects. Each course has been proven to be effective in providing the knowledge needed to carry out God's will in the lives of those called into Christian service. Care has been taken to make each course both academic and practical. Students will find the cost of studying through Bethany to be a fraction of the cost of a liberal arts college. Moreover, the serious student of the Bible will find Bethany true to the Word of God, standing on the fundamentals of the faith. With the Bible as the supreme authority and recognizing that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate teacher, we accept the task of exposing the student to the necessary tools to prepare for an effective ministry. It is our desire to equip men and women with the knowledge they need to become efficient in the field of labor to which God has called them. Bethany also seeks to mold character through a wholesome and intellectual study of God's Word. Moreover, we believe that all people, regardless of their educational level, should have an opportunity to receive a Bible education. Bethany's Vocational / Professional programs of study help facilitate this goal. It is my desire, as President of Bethany, that if you are considering a Bible education in an effort to prepare for the ministry or other Christian service, you will consider enrolling with Bethany. While you may have had to drop out of school because of financial problems, here is an opportunity to take up where you left off. Start today by completing an application and returning it to Bethany. Whether it is for one course or a complete program, now is the time to observe and execute II Timothy 2:15 and study to show yourself approved unto God. It is His desire for us to rightly divide the Word. To accomplish this, we must put forth the effort. In Christian Service, |
Dear
