Lehigh Valley Baptist Bible Institute

We offer three programs

Theology

This program is designed to prepare men for pastoral or missionary-related ministries. Men will be grounded in Bible content, doctrine, and understanding, as well as practical ministry areas. Pastoral students must complete 92 credit hours of classroom instruction, 10 credit hours of field evangelism, 2 credit hours of actual preaching, and 2 credit hours of an approved thesis, in order to receive the Graduate of Theology Diploma (Th.G.).

Religious Education

This program is designed to prepare women for church or Christian School related ministries. Ladies will be grounded in Bible content, doctrine, and facets of Christian Education, as well as various areas of practical ministry. Education students completing 94 credit hours of classroom instruction, 10 credit hours of field evangelism, and 2 credit hours of an independent study will be awarded the Graduate of Religious Education Diploma (G.R.E.).

Layman’s Bible

This program is designed to equip members of Lehigh Valley Baptist Church to better serve the Lord in the church as Sunday School Teachers, Junior Church Workers, Ushers, Deacons, Personal Workers, and Soulwinners. For those completing 24 credit hours of classroom instruction plus 3 credit hours of field evangelism, a Layman’s Bible Diploma is awarded.

is dedicated to the principle that the local church is God’s organization for the equipping of the preacher and the layman alike for the work of the ministry. Here at LVBBI we are prepared to offer Biblical academic instruction for the man preparing for the pastoral ministry, church-planting ministry, or missionary work; or for the lady who desires to prepare herself for appropriate ministry, or simply further her education. Our programs offer a convenient schedule of comprehensive Bible courses coupled with opportunities for practical involvement in various church ministries. It is ideal for men or women preparing for the ministry. For others who simply want to further their Bible knowledge for the purpose of service in the local church, we offer a less demanding laymen’s program. Lehigh Valley Baptist Bible Institute is distinctively Baptist in theology and practice. We believe the Bible is able to fully meet the needs of every individual. We do not apologize for the “faith once delivered to the saints.” This program is specifically designed for the members of Lehigh Valley Baptist Church and is not intended for public access. If you believe you have an exception to this, please reach out to us directly about taking courses through LVBBI.
