Why Bible College?

TGCM Bible College

Welcome! Thank you for considering TGCM Bible College. In this modern times many individuals feel they do not need to be trained. They feel that they can simply go on the internet, purchase ordination and go and  start a church. Recently there was a real conversation where a young man had done just that. A senior pastor asked him, "What about being trained?" and the young man replied, "I'm ordained - I don't need to be trained. I will just preach and teach what I know." Then the pastor asked, "Have you read the Bible?" and the young man replied, "Yes, I have read John 3:16"

Jesus spent three years teaching the disciples. Paul spent time teaching young Timothy how to be a minister (read I & II Timothy). Paul tells young Timothy, "Study to show yourself approved." He is telling Timothy that he must be trained and prepared to serve God in such a capacity.

To be a leader, minister, or pastor you need a depth of knowledge and understanding. At TGCM Bible College, you will receive a solid education to prepare you for the journey ahead.

Doctors go to medical school and earn their MDs, accountants study and earn their MBAs, you should study and earn a degree with purpose and meaning! That's why we are here!  For YOU!

Whether you want a Pastoral Studies degree or one in Christian Liberal Studies, we have a degree program and schedule that is right for you. And when you are prepared, TGCM Organization and TGCM Church Worldwide will ordain you.

TGCM offers, Certificate, Associates, Bachelor's, and Masters programs. We have both an Accelerated degree (for those with credits to transfer or a prior degree) and Traditional degree program.

TGCM Bible College offers two formats for degree programs: Accelerated and Traditional. Both are 100% online study using a moodle-type college course web or through standard distance lessons (student receives a lessons and textbook).

Certificate Programs

Our Certificate programs are all self-paced. That means you can complete your Certificate studies as quickly as you want. They provide essential information to qualify you to be ordained if that is you goal.

They earn 15 semester hours of college credit and cover areas such as Christian Doctrine, Church History, Salvation, Church Bookkeeping, Church Administration, Sermon Preparation, and Practical Application (Public Speaking and Preaching).

Accelerated Degree Programs

The accelerated Associates, Bachelors, and Masters degree programs are designed for those students who have attended other colleges or training programs and have earned hours or previous degrees. TGCM Allows you to transfer in your credits and then complete your degree.

Accelerated programs are recommended only for students who have already earned a degree or have attended college in the past and have enough credits and who desire to learn using course materials and instruction sheets - learning a topic through both reference and exploration. These students want to rely mainly on their own ability to research, process, and then present information they have learned or discovered. They do not want to be locked into weekly class meetings online and a 16 week schedule.

The Accelerated Degree Program allows individuals to work in their own self-paced environment to complete a degree from TGCM.

 The accelerated program is also designed for the student's convenience allowing them to pay one fee which includes course semester hours, all textbooks and materials - rather than registering for one class at a time and waiting for textbooks to arrive! All materials are sent to the student up front so there is no waiting between classes. Just complete your assignments and submit them! Complete your measurement portion at the end of each class and then, start a new class! As you finish a class you are already automatically enrolled in your next class and you already have your textbooks. In no time, you can complete your program!

Traditional Degree Programs

The Traditional degree format requires three 16-weeks semesters each year. Degrees are completed in a standard time frame. This program is for students with little or no college or who do not have substantial Christian training and experience.

Each class is instructor guided using Skype Meetings, Yahoo Messenger, Course Syllabus, Textbooks, and Course Assignment sheets. You have "class" online with the instructor once or twice a week to discuss assignments and course topics. You enroll in classes by semester. After you complete a semester you start your next semester, enroll in your classes, pay your tuition, and then receive your textbooks for those classes.

The tuition is $75.00 per hour and a 3 hour class is $225.00 which includes all textbooks for the class.
