Equipping God's Workers With God's Word For God's Work
Mission Statement
BSOP exists to assist local churches, parachurch
organizations, and church-founded Christian day-schools by training men and
women called by God to be leaders and workers in pastorates, missions, and
educational settings. BSOP seeks to provide a professional and wholistic
Christian training that develops student in the three complementary areas of
spiritual growth, biblical knowledge, and ministerial skill. BSOP seeks to help
each student develop his or her God-given talents and gifts for works of service
in His church and in the world.
Principles
of Training
The Seminary uses a three-pronged approach to train
its students: professional, personal, and practical. These emphases of training
intend to promote a well-rounded and balanced development of the Christian
minister, who will be able to communicate God’s message by proclamation and
testimony.
Professional Approach
The Seminary aims to help students gain a
foundational understanding of the word of God; to acquire skills in handling
such knowledge properly; and be able to communicate this knowledge clearly. They
will learn different ways of serving and edifying the church toward maturity, as
well as to develop the art of proclaiming the gospel of salvation effectively.
Personal
Approach
The Seminary aims to assist students in developing
Christ-like conduct that confirms to Scriptural teachings; to live out a life
characterized by holiness and obedience, not following after worldly patterns
but transformed so as to draw others to our Savior and Lord.
Practical
Approach
The Seminary also aims to
guide students to discover ways of applying biblical knowledge in real-life
situations; to gain wisdom through actual ministerial experiences; and to learn
how to work with other people, whether superiors, peers, or subordinates.
