Bi-Vocational Ministers Tuition Discount Program
|
The Board of Regents has approved a special tuition discount for qualifying bi-vocational ministers seeking an Associate or Bachelor of Ministry in Biblical Studies degree. A bi-vocational minister is generally defined as a minister who requires a second income to meet basic household expenses while serving as a pastor or member of a church pastoral staff. On occasion exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of Administration. Special arrangements and exceptions to this program may also be made for collaborations with other ministry schools or groups. This program is underwritten by the support of church, individual, business, and foundation donors. We encourage churches with enrolled ministers/students to support Pillsbury/FreeWay through their church budget.
