Course of Study
The basic course of study at FLBI consists of a two-year program. The first year lays the foundation, with a concentration of the basics of Christian doctrine, plus an overview of the Old and New Testaments. The second year guides the student into a deeper study of the Word of God and the practical aspects of ministry.
A certificate is awarded after successful completion of the fifteen (15) first year courses, and a diploma is awarded when the additional fifteen (15) courses from the second year program are completed successfully.
All awards also require the following two (2) qualifications:
- The student demonstrates Christian character which the school can recommend
- The student has settled all financial liabilities to the school Students may choose to complete the two-year program using our onsite format, our online format, or our correspondence format.
