It is the intention of the school to train men to preach the Gospel of Christ by instilling in them a love for the Bible by studying the Bible verse by verse along with related Bible subjects. We have graduated many men, most of whom are preaching full time. We desire to enroll men who are genuinely committed to preaching the Gospel. We welcome men of any age who really want to preach. We hope you will help us by giving us names of talented men.
