Beulah Training Institute

Are you seeking to enhance your biblical knowledge and understanding? Do you desire to progress in fulfilling the specific calling that God has placed on your life? Are you searching for opportunities to serve the church in a more significant role? Perhaps you’re still in the process of discerning your path. If you respond positively to any of these questions, BTI is for you. 

The application deadline is September 29, 2023.

Primarily classes are held at our Beulah West Campus. There may be some instances where a class may be held at one of our other campuses or other location.

The 2023/2024 Academic year runs from October 2, 2023, to Mid-June 2024.

Mondays from 7:00 – 9:00 PM.

Attendance for a weekend course might be mandatory once or twice per year.  

Answering God’s call on your life should be a source of excitement and profound fulfillment. It shouldn’t be overshadowed by concerns about overwhelming debt, particularly considering the high costs associated with post-secondary education. However, we bring you good news: we firmly believe that equipping yourself for ministry doesn’t have to drain your financial resources or jeopardize your future stability. 

Beulah has subsidized the tuition fee to make BTI affordable. Tuition for the 2023/2024 school year is $750. Monthly payment arrangements can be made available. 

Textbooks will need to be purchased separately.  

If God is calling you to BTI, but the financial cost is prohibitive, then please email . Grants are available by application.

A student who completes the full 3 years of BTI will receive a Graduate level Certificate of Leadership from Ambrose University that can be used to transfer to any of Ambrose’s full degree programs – the equivalent of 15 credits (1 full-time semester). 

While we desire to see someone complete all 3 years of BTI, we know that sometimes life circumstances may change. BTI is designed for each year to build on the previous one, but an applicant is not required to commit to the whole 3 years upfront.  

By completing year one, a student will receive a Beulah Certificate of Leadership. 

By completing year two, a student will receive a Foundations of Ministry Certificate from Ambrose University.  

By completing year three, a student will graduate with a Graduate level Certificate of Leadership, from Ambrose University. 

Weekly, students should expect to receive two hours of in-person instruction. Depending on the course, different required readings and assignments will be assigned. Furthermore, a commitment of 2-4 hours per week for the service practicum (refer to the details below) will be necessary. We estimate you will need to allocate approximately 10-12 hours each week for BTI.  

Typically, Year 1 and 2 classes include about 30-40 hours of work. This is distributed between teaching, reading, and writing or other assignments. In year 3 you will register for 4 -three-credit Graduate level Seminary classes, each of which includes about 120 hours of work (split between instruction, reading, assignments, etc.)  

Each class is challenging, but very doable! Many of our current students are effectively balancing their careers and families with the demands of the course. 

The primary objective of the service practicum at BTI is to help you develop a willingness to serve others, and your church, and a commitment to a lifetime of bringing glory to God through service, regardless of vocational calling. Ministering to others in the name of Jesus will help you reach a higher level of maturity and responsibility. Service Practicum will help you:  

▪ Serve others with the love of Jesus 

 ▪ Develop leadership skills and compassion for others.  

▪ Develop your unique ministry gifting.  

▪ Grow in a greater ability to compassionately relate to your fellow human beings in a variety of situations.  

▪ Experience a variety of situations in which you can integrate classroom learning with real-life ministry experience.  

Placements should be meaningful, challenging, and rewarding. With the help of a Practicum Supervisor a student will prayerfully decide where the Lord might have them serve for this season of BTI. 

Wherever you choose to serve in your service practicum, your responsibilities include:  

▪ Consistency (2-4 hours per week)   

▪ Being supervised 

▪ A posture of learning

▪ A humble servant attitude

Regular attendance and engaged participation on the part of all students are vital to the process of learning in community. Students have the opportunity to participate in course conversations in ways that mutually encourage and edify classmates.  If a student misses more than three classes per year without justifiable reasons, there will be a penalty. 

Beulah Training Institute offers a unique advantage by immersing students in the vibrant culture of Beulah Alliance Church. Since such a high value is placed on culture, BTI is not offered online.

We are so excited about your interest in this program and look forward to seeing God’s work accomplished in, through, and with His people. To apply for this program, complete and submit the application form. Your application will be received and reviewed by our faculty. A BTI representative will contact you for an admission interview.
