The Crown College of the Bible

Bachelor in Biblical Studies
in Pastoral Ministry

The Pastoral Ministry program of study is designed to equip a man of God to preach the whole counsel of God and to take a biblical stand on the issues of the day. One of the most unique things about The Crown College of the Bible is its place in the heart of Temple Baptist Church. While attending, Pastoral Ministry students will have numerous opportunities to be a vital part of a New Testament church in which God is doing extraordinary things.

A comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the Word of God is the foundation of this program of study. A minimum of 128 credit hours is required to complete this program.

Key Courses

Living the Christian Life - The open secret of looking to Christ in the victorious Christian life is the cornerstone of this course personally taught by Dr. Sexton. The pursuit of Christ and the necessity of the personal devotional life are emphasized. 

Homiletics I - This course is an introduction designed to ground the student in the philosophy of Bible preaching. Special attention is given to different types of preaching with the emphasis on the expository sermon. Guidance is given in the proper use of tools to construct sermons.
