Simmons Bible University (SBU) was established to assist in the equipping of believers to fulfill their ministry. The word "ministry" is not limited to just those who are ordained. Second Corinthians 5 tells us that as believers we all have a ministry- the ministry of reconciling people back to God. Having a solid command of the Bible, and its key doctrines, is an essential element for anyone who desires to fulfill this calling. Here are 8 Reasons why Simmons may be the best choice for you:
- Just the Bible- While we respect and appreciate denominational differences, we offer you an education focused solely on being able to learn and apply what the Bible says, not what we think it says.
- Flexibility- Our students all lead busy lives and appreciate a degree program that they can adjust to their family, ministry and/or professional responsibilities.
- An Incredible Value- Simmons has one of the most reasonable tuition and fee structures that you can find among institutions offering a high-quality educational experience. Generous grants are available and you will never be burdened with mandatory purchases of books and materials.
- Learning Made Easy- Most traditional residence and distance learning schools put students through an unnecessary amount of obstacles just to say that the program is hard. As a Simmons student you will definitely work hard-at learning-, not overcoming obstacles.
- An Appreciation of Learning Styles- Lots of very intelligent people do not do well with exams or have trouble writing long papers. Often this discourages them from getting an advanced degree. We offer options such as Oral Exams and other methods that test your knowledge. After all, that's what an education should be about.
- A Practical Faculty- Our Professors, Department Administrators, and Advisors are all actively engaged in ministry. Academicians certainly have their place but at Simmons we believe that people on the front lines of ministry know best how to equip you.
- The Personal Touch- You will never be an account number or statistic at Simmons. We take the equipping of the saints seriously and will show a genuine interest in your education, your ministry, and any aspect of your spiritual growth and development that you need us to.
- Because This Is Where He Wants You- Yes, we certainly would like everyone to be a Simmons student, but more than that, we want you to be where the Lord wants you. Pray in earnest for Him to guide you and if this is the pace He wants you to be He will be glorified and your success will be guaranteed!
