Associate Degree Program
Holmes Bible College offers one Associate of Arts degree program in Christian Ministry.
The general education courses are taught from a Christian perspective, and the content is specifically structured for ministers in training. Holmes offers a four-dimensional approach to ministerial education – Christian service, Bible and Theology, general education, and practical ministry. This approach enables students to comprehend the truth, understand the world around them, and bridge the gap between the two by acquiring effective ministry techniques.
