MISSION
The mission of SCTS is to train members of the Body of Christ in the disciplined study of God; His Attributes, His Word, and other core Bible Doctrines, utilizing the Scriptures as the primary Source. The goal is to become well equipped to better understand the Bible, to be stirred by God's Spirit to consistently apply His Truths, and to "honor Christ the Lord as Holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks [you] for a reason for the hope that is in you..." (1 Peter 3:15).
WHY THEOLOGY?
Theology is more than an intellectual exercise in the expansion of one's knowledge of God. The disciplined inquiry and learning about Him demands personal application and a steadfast devotion to the Eternal Divine Subject. The reason for a church curriculum on Christian Theological Studies as a ministry of Midwest Bible Church is that we recognize from Scripture the importance of all believers to have the same "noble" heart as the Bereans who "received the Word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so" (Acts 17:10).
Our hope is that students will come away from these important courses eager to learn more from God's Word as it is "examined" in order to become strengthened in their faith, determined to do their "best to present [themselves] to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).

CURRENT COURSE
Bibliology 120
The objective of Bibliology 120 is to deepen students’ appreciation for God and His grace in revealing Himself to Mankind by way of His creation, His Word, His Son, and the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit. The objective is also to help students discern false “biblical” teachings and soundly and uncompromisingly proclaim the Truth to others by word and deed, to the glory of God.
This three-week coursework is designed for Christian church leaders including pastors, teachers, counselors, youth leaders and all others who are fervent about their continual development of their faith, their walk with God, and their love for His Word. The exposition of the doctrine of revelation (natural, special, and existential) will be the prominent topic of discussion throughout this course, followed by the canonicity and inerrancy of Scripture.
With intentional thoughtfulness and application to these doctrines of vital importance, this course will also help strengthen students’ resolve for confidently preaching and teaching God’s truths—"being ready in season and out of season” to “reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4: 2).
