"...the flexibility to study..."
After 17 years on the mission field, the opportunity to receive advice and teaching from godly independent Baptists who are themselves doing a great work for the Lord, is a welcome encouragement. The blessing of being able to study a practical, Bible-based course while serving on the mission field is a privilege that I never thought possible. Now through the internet I am able to continue studying and stretching myself to better serve the Lord.

Of the many benefits of this program is the flexibility to study as I have time. The ministry is busy, but there is also a great need to stay fresh, keep learning, and stay focused on what is important - a love for the Lord and a burden for the lost. I am thankful that the Lord has allowed me to be a part of this course. It has been well worth the investment.

"...a greater discernment of theological truth..."
The Online Master’s Program at West Coast Baptist College has given me a greater discernment of theological truth and how it applies to the local church. After all, life is about glorifying God and helping people to grow in Christ-likeness!”

"...stretched to learn more of the Bible..."
For years I have looked for a master’s program from an independent, fundamental Baptist, but all I could find were the programs that required many hours away from my ministry that God has called me to do. I am currently being stretched to learn more of the Bible while staying actively involved in the ministry. Thank you for making a way for me to further advance my education without sacrificing my ministry.

"...immediately useful in our ministry..."
As a current student at WCBC utilizing the online program to earn my Master of Ministry degree, it has been remarkable what I have been able to glean and put into practice in our ministry. Every lecture in the Ministry Practical course taught by Dr. Chappell was insightful, truly practical, and immediately useful in our ministry. The format of being able to see the instructor, see the Power Point presentation, and follow along with the downloaded notes has been a marvelous method to maintain a high level of interest and enthusiasm for each course and lecture. I am thankful for the opportunity to further my education at an affordable price without the necessity of removing myself from the ministry in which God has called me to serve.
