Testimonial

"When I arrived at NBBS in 2001, I thought I knew the Bible pretty well. The faculty however, open-ed the Word and taught me things I had never known before. I will always cherish the education and training that I received, which grounded me in the Word of God. I recommend the Norris Bible Baptist Seminary to anyone who is seeking to be used of God."

 

(Frank Hefner, 2005 NBBS Graduate, pastor of Mountain Home Missionary Baptist Church, Jacksboro, TX.)

*NOTE: There are also four-year degree programs for Missionaries, Youth Directors, and Church Ministry (for Women or Non-Preacher Students). They are the same as above except some courses are replaced with specialization classes for missionaries, such as Missions III (Cross Cultural) and Missions IV (Deputation) (of course, Acts and all the Epistles are "missions related courses"); for youth directors, Youth Directorship I & II; for women, there are seven specialization courses. Also, there is a two-year program of study and a one-year Bible diploma program. There are also the courses Creation Science II, Ethics, American History, and Marriage which are also offered and can be taken in the stead of some of the above courses, if perceived to be more pertinent for the student. 

**The four history courses make much use of the Gospels and Acts; and World History Overview, both the N/T and O/T

One Week of Concentrated Study is conducted each semester with a focus on various areas of Church Ministry such as: Sunday School, Jr. Church, VBS, Legal Issues, etc., as well as one on the KJV, Church Revitalization, or Church Planting.
