A Flexible Study Experience

Designed for students with full-time jobs, family, and ministry.

In-Person and Online

Our 3 modes of course delivery combine the best of both in-person classroom experience with the flexibility of taking courses online.

Study from Anywhere

CBTS students can take courses from anywhere in the world, allowing them to stay in their own local church and be mentored by their own pastor.

Start Classes Anytime

CBTS students are not bound by a semester structure. They may enroll in courses at any time and take as many courses as they like.

“I particularly enjoyed the different kinds of classroom settings—whether it was at my own pace in my home, in my office, being able to work on things by myself, but then also being able to come to Owensboro to participate in class and to enjoy the teaching live, and to enjoy being with other students.”

3 Course Types

We combine the best of the in-person classroom experience
with the flexibility of taking courses online.

Self-Paced

Students have the opportunity to take pre-recorded courses at their own pace on the CBTS Pathway platform, allowing them to tailor their learning experience to fit their individual schedules and needs.

Live Semester

Students have the opportunity to take pre-recorded courses at their own pace on the CBTS Pathway platform, allowing them to tailor their learning experience to fit their individual schedules and needs.

In-Person Modular

Students arrive on campus for a 3 to 5-day course taught by CBTS faculty. This program offers an opportunity for participants to engage deeply with the subject matter, interact with knowledgeable instructors, and collaborate with their peers in a face-to-face learning environment. CBTS holds 4 or more modular courses per year.
