The world we live in today is cosmopolitan, globally connected, and 24/7/365, straddling both geographical and digital spaces. Serving in such a world requires understanding, perspective, competence, emotional stability, compassion, and other leadership qualities for effective ministry.
At the School of Theology (English), we are keenly aware of the changes and challenges of our generation. For that reason, we have identified four areas in our curriculum as important competencies and capacities to cultivate in our students.
Our goal is to produce graduates who handle Scripture well and experience the power of the Gospel in life and ministry so that the body of Christ will continue to grow.?
From our experience, the best learning modality is still done in-person within a community. But for those unable to come onsite, from July 2026, all first-year curriculum of SOTE programmes are hyflex (i.e., students can choose to be onsite or online). Our Advanced Diploma will also be completely online. SBC now has new Smart and Hybrid classrooms, making online/onsite interactions even simpler and more effective.?
Students who choose the online option will also have the opportunity to join the Immersion Experience, and visit SBC in-person for the first one to two weeks of the semester.?
As enrolled students, you can apply to our generous scholarship and financial aid options. Remember to check them out!
The table below provides a summary of the programmes offered in the School of Theology (English) as well as the goals intended for each programme. Take time to discuss these programme options with your church or mission leaders and to make an informed decision about your choice of programme. Finally, if you wish to receive admissions counseling, please drop us an email and we will be glad to help with your admissions queries and questions about the application process.
