Theology and Ministry

Aim of the Program

Study Process

The academic schedule is structured to be manageable and inclusive for all students – single, married, with children, working, attending other schools or educational institutions, and those participating in church ministry.

According to the study schedule, lectures happen approximately once a month, usually taking up a full Saturday and the following Monday and Tuesday nights. You can check the Academic Timetable here.

Two weeks prior to the beginning of the course, the program administrator will send out the Syllabus to the students.

Students must complete a preparatory assignment before each class which is called a “pre-assignment”. Students will also be asked to complete final assignment(s) within the two weeks of completing each course.

Every student should find a mentor for the duration of their studies. LBC can also help facilitate a search for a qualified mentor for the student.

All courses are recorded so that those who cannot join the course in person or online can watch it, and it’s a great option for watching the course again. After completing all the courses, students must pass a comprehensive final exam.

*Amounts shown are subject to change.

Completion of the Studies

Upon successful completion of the program students receive a Certificate in “Theology and Ministry” at a special graduation ceremony. If a student already passed any other LBC program, with the exception of “Christian Foundations”, they will receive a Diploma in “Theology & Ministry”.

The Latvian Biblical Centre is an adult informal further-educational institution registered at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia. The program is recognized by the largest Christian denominations in Latvia, but is not yet accredited by the State.

Admission is open to anyone who is willing to deepen their understanding of the Word of God, grow into a relationship with God and develop a godly character. Anyone can attend, but the level of instruction and class assignments will be more appropriate for those who have completed secondary education (general education experience).
