Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.)

 In fulfillment of the Seminary’s objective to develop people who will provide leadership for churches of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), the Seminary started the Religious Education programme in response to the needs expressed by its NBC constituency. No secular university or teacher training institution in Nigeria, and few, if any, theological institutions in Africa have been able to provide a broad, church-centered programme of religious education. The B.R.E. programme is a four-year degree course designed to produce students who combine the professional training required of church religious educators and teachers with theological and biblical skills necessary for work in a ministerial setting. Thus, the students are exposed to courses in areas such as educational foundation, teaching, theology, biblical studies and educational administration.

One of the primary purposes of the Seminary is the preparation for service of persons who have felt the call to the ministry of the gospel and leadership in the parish ministry and in denominational service. The Bachelor of Theology is a four-year degree programme incorporating studies in biblical interpretation, systematic and applied theology, church administration and leadership, and basic courses in worship leadership. At the end of the programme, students should be able to minister in the areas of proclamation and interpretation of the Word of God, the building up of the holistic lives of members of the church, the meeting of spiritual and emotional needs of church members and the leading of the church in outreach ministries.
