Embrace the Word. Wherever you are.

At LBS, distance students are not second-class students.

This year we explored the state of the Church in North America and how to effectively reach our neighbors with the gospel.

LBS offers a rich program that provides a biblical foundation, spiritual formation, and practical ministry skills.

We aim to teach a Christ-centered understanding of scripture accompanied by a transformational community in order to live as servants of God.

Student Stories

It was through my relationships and studies at LBS that I came to find my ‘theological home.’ Moreover, it has been in this humble space where I have wrestled most with God and have come to experience and appreciate a fuller understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Seth Johnston

The MDiv program exposed areas of ministry that I’d never imagined, and provided new perspective to the exploration of God’s Word for the sake of his kingdom. I am now far more equipped to step into this ministry because of my years of lecture and study at LBS.

Ben Breslin

At Seminary we are faced with God’s call to the nations; we are trained to go out into the world and share the message of Jesus with those who don’t know him.
