Bachelor Degree Programs
Holmes Bible College offers two bachelor degree programs – Bible and Theology and Christian Ministry. The former program is designed for those desiring seminary training, those who wish to pursue a career in Bible teaching, and those who wish to make preaching the primary focus of their ministry. The latter program offers a multidisciplinary approach to ministry. A Christian Ministry major takes a series of courses from each department of Holmes and concentrates in a minor area tailored to meet individual goals. The major is designed for those wishing to enter the ministry directly upon leaving Holmes.
Both of the bachelor degree programs at Holmes Bible College are premised upon a two-year core academic program of Bible, theology, and general education courses. 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 the students to comprehend the truth, understand the world around them, and bridge the gap between the two by acquiring effective ministry techniques.
