Important Note on Biblical Authority:
Some courses in the Bachelor of Ministry program include material that interacts with modern scholarship, including critical approaches to Scripture. As we state on our [About page], WSCT stands firmly on the inspiration and preservation of God’s Word and rejects critical methods that undermine biblical authority.
We also affirm that every word of Scripture means exactly what it says. For example, some modern scholarship teaches that when God warned Adam and Eve that they would “surely die” if they sinned, He meant a long process rather than a real death beginning that very day. This view ignores the plain meaning of God’s words. Adam and Eve knew exactly what God said, and the moment they sinned, they died spiritually. Their fellowship with God was broken. Ephesians 2:1 says, “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,” showing that sin brings spiritual death. James 1:15 explains how sin works: “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Neither physical nor spiritual death existed for humanity or creation until Adam’s fall (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12).
These courses are provided so students can understand what is taught in the wider academic world and learn to evaluate it in light of Scripture. Students should approach these lessons with discernment, remembering that the Bible is our final authority for truth (Psalm 119:160; 2 Timothy 3:16–17).

Bachelor of Biblical Studies
Explain how the Bible is better understood when Scripture is studied in connection with the land of Israel, Old Testament history, wisdom literature, prophecy, archaeology, New Testament background, the life of Christ, the reliability of the Gospels, and the theology of both Testaments. Show how courses such as Listen to the Land, Deuteronomy, 1 and 2 Kings, Proverbs, Psalms, Survey of the Old Testament, Old Testament Theology, Introduction to the New Testament: Gospel and Acts, Introduction to the New Testament: Romans to Revelation, The Historical Reliability of the Gospels, Life of Christ, New Testament Theology, Biblical Theology, Old Testament Backgrounds, Old Testament Literature, Sermon on the Mount, Prison Epistles, Foundations of Biblical Prophecy, Biblical Archaeology, and the Azusa Street and Pentecostalism course help the student read Scripture as one united revelation of God’s redemptive work.
Bachelor of Ministry
Develop a biblical model of ministry that shows how preaching, hermeneutics, worship, pastoral care, spiritual leadership, worldview, church leadership, team development, peacemaking, and change in the church work together in faithful Christian service. Explain how a minister must rightly handle Scripture, preach with faithfulness, care for people with wisdom, lead with spiritual maturity, develop others for service, address conflict, guide the church through change, and keep ministry centered on Christ rather than personality, programs, or worldly methods. Use material from courses such as Theology of Ministry, Biblical Hermeneutics, Worship, Preaching, Spiritual Life of the Leader, Theology of Credible Leadership, Pastoral Care and Leadership, Leading Teams with Care, Developing Leaders in the Small Church, Peacemaking in the Church and Beyond, Leading Change in the Church, Principles of Effective Leadership, Advanced Worldview Analysis, Homiletics, and Spiritual Leadership.
Bachelor of Theology
Explain how Christian doctrine is formed from Scripture, clarified through church history, defended against error, and strengthened by careful study of the biblical languages. Discuss how systematic theology helps organize biblical truth, how church history shows the development and defense of doctrine, how Christian thought and philosophy help answer false ideas, and how Hebrew and Greek studies help the student engage Scripture more carefully. Use material from courses such as Systematic Theology I, Systematic Theology II, Church History I, Church History II, C.S. Lewis: His Theology and Philosophy, American Christianity, Reformation to the Present, Hebrew 101, Hebrew 102, Hebrew 103, Hebrew 104, and Biblical Greek II.
