Educational Philosophy

As a Bible college, Holmes exists for the sole purpose of training men and women to serve as full time Christian workers.  Though it offers multiple majors and courses, the school is distinct from a university or a liberal arts college in its purpose.  Every aspect of Holmes is designed to assist ministers-in-training.

General education courses, Bible and theology courses, and practical ministry courses are combined into a complete academic curriculum that provides students with rigorous, quality training for ministry.

To establish a learning environment, Holmes incorporates a Christian service program, spiritual formation, and social ministry into its community, thereby creating a dynamic and practical approach to ministry.
