ABOUT LBTS


This is not seminary as usual.

ABOUT LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary & Graduate School is located on the 4,000 acre campus of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, just minutes from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and a short drive from the Northern Virginia/DC area. Founded in 1973 as an outgrowth of Liberty University, the seminary has nearly 4,000 students from all 50 states and many countries around the world who are currently enrolled in both the residential and distance learning programs. LTS is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

ACADEMICS
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary is not your typical seminary. While we offer all of the standard seminary programs, like the PhD, DMin, MDiv, and ThM, we also offer many programs unique to LBTS. In the fall of 2007, we launched eleven new master's programs that target specific areas of ministry, including global apologetics, children's ministry, and Chrisitan leadership. These thirty-six credit hour programs can be completed in as little as eighteen months. As a student of LBTS, you will have the opportunity to study under some of the world's leading evangelical professors, and if studying on campus, you will experience life at the world's largest evangelical Christian university.

SPIRITUAL & STUDENT LIFE
At Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, we are not only fully committed to your academic growth, but are just as concerned with your spiritual and social life. 17:6, an alternative convocation for students who are passionate about ministry, occurs on select Fridays and hosts some of the nation's most influential pastors, speakers, and educators. On Wednesday nights, "The Campus Church" is turning a diverse community to the heart of God and answering some of life's deepest questions. Each week, thousands of students from colleges all over the Central Virginia area gather under one roof for intense worship and truth grounded in the Word. No facades, just honest faith. As a part of the world's largest evangelical Christian university, LBTS students also have the opportunity to take part in Division I NCAA sporting events, festivals, concerts, missions trips, and many more activities unique to Liberty.
