sensitive, Spirit-filled educators to fulfill their personal desires when it
comes to college degrees.Chesapeake Bible College & Seminary is an educational institution that provides a ministry of Christian Education through correspondence and campus class room studies on the Bible as well as Christian Counseling, Religious Education, Theology, Christian Living and Ministry. Our College is committed to the growth of the local church. Too often people leave the local church because they feel they need more spiritual food than they are receiving. The answer to that problem is to have a School of Ministry campus whereby the students can take courses that lead to a degree. In this way the church is not only able to retain their best people but also is able to recruit new church workers. Feel free to contact us about beginning a School of Ministry in your church. The School of Ministry can fit any church, regardless of the size.
