The strength of this program is equipping students to do biblical research and teaching. Developing skills to be able to thoughtfully interpret the Bible is very important in Canadian or global ministry careers. Understanding the literary, cultural, historical, and geographical aspects of biblical interpretation is valuable for growing deeper in your relationship with God, preparing for effective ministry, or preparing for graduate studies in the fields of biblical studies, theology, and/or divinity.

I have grown in my understanding of the Bible and the faith I have in Christ has grown at Briercrest substantially. I am quite grateful for how my program has been working through me so far. I can get a lot more learning in two years than in one.
