BCA Three Year Curriculum
BCETA's three-year curriculum includes Bible, theology and ministry courses in an effort to balance these three important building blocks of Christian service. Knowledge of Bible content is foundational to all Christian witness and service and theology holds the Christian to the realities of the gospel, making him sound and biblically consistent while the ministry courses help the student to put into practice his understanding of the Bible.
