Presidential Search Update
April 29, 2013

The Presidential Search Committee has completed the process of interviewing a capable candidate. However, this man does not feel led away from his current ministries at this time.

We remain committed to the qualifications and attributes outlined in the Presidential Prospectus. We will build on our momentum, calling upon the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen our resolve. We are moving onward and forward diligently and expeditiously. We are encouraged that the Lord will lead us to the man He wants as our next president. Thank you for your constant prayers.

Visit this page to keep informed as to our progress and announcements. You can read the Presidential Prospectus here.

Thank you.

Faithful Servant Seminary Module Scholarship

Faithful Servant Seminary Module Scholarship

Faith Baptist Theological Seminary announces the availability of scholarships to assist pastors, assistant pastors, and missionaries in beginning their Master of Arts program. Ten individuals will be chosen to receive a 50% tuition discount on the first three two-credit hour modules in their M.A. program.

This scholarship is open to new students only. For the purpose of this scholarship, a new student is defined as a person who has never taken a class at FBTS or has not taken a seminary class for credit at FBTS during the three years prior to applying for this scholarship.

How to Apply
1. Apply for admission to Faith Baptist Theological Seminary by downloading the application. You must submit the complete application to be considered for this scholarship. The module-only application will not be sufficient.

2. Complete the online application for the Faithful Servant Scholarship below. This application requires you to submit a brief essay (500–1,000 words) stating why you desire to attend Faith and the benefits you hope to achieve for your life and ministry through your education.

Selection Criteria
1. Current involvement in vocational Christian service as a pastor, assistant pastor, or missionary

2. Completion of the application for admission to Faith Baptist Theological Seminary (including reference forms). The reference forms will serve the dual purpose of evaluation for acceptance for admission and for scholarship consideration.

3. Demonstration of potential for seminary-level study based on college transcript(s)

4. Expression of personal and ministry benefits through the scholarship application essay

Deadline
You must complete your seminary application, along with the scholarship application, by June 30, 2013. Apply early, however, because only a limited number of scholarships are available. The FBTS faculty will choose the recipients within ten days of the submission of the admission and scholarship applications.

You must take all three modules within a 24-month period of time. You must earn a B (3.0) in each module to retain scholarship eligibility.

Take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your education and strengthen your ministry.

It’s been a few years, but it’s time to lace up your basketball shoes and come back to Faith for our alumni basketball game. Just like the Glory Days!

• The Glory Days tournament will start around 9:00 on Friday night after the men’s basketball game, and pick up again on Saturday morning, November 17. The start time on Saturday will be determined by the number of teams participating.

• We can take up to six teams. You can come by yourself and join a team or bring a team.

• $10 fee includes a T-shirt and admission for you and your family to the Faith games Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Payable on arrival.

• Enjoy a pizza lunch on Saturday after the tournament for $5 for your whole family.

• All Faith basketball alumni will be recognized during the halftime of Friday night’s game.
