This degree has been designed so that the person who has a basic grasp of Bible doctrine may build on that foundation and gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for the greatness of God and His revelation to people. This program examines theology from the viewpoints of what the Bible teaches, a doctrine’s historical development, the various denominational formulations of that doctrine, and the different emphases and viewpoints currently held. The student may choose to emphasize Systematic Theology or Christian Thought.
A minimum of 30 semester hours of Bible and theology at the undergraduate level, or their equivalent, is required before admission will be granted to the M.A. in Theological Studies program. A grade point average of 3.0 or higher is expected in one’s undergraduate work. Students are permitted to transfer a maximum of 12 acceptable graduate credits into this program.
Attending FBBC was helpful in preparing me for life. It helped build on and solidify my Biblical and Theological foundation, while helping me see the importance of serving alongside others in the local church. Currently my family and I are members at Holmes Baptist Church, outside of Clarion, Iowa, where we are involved in several areas of ministry. I also made many great friendships while attending FBBC. These friends have continued to challenge me, and I am very grateful for ways they have invested in my life for eternity.
