Newburgh Theological Seminary

The Newburgh Theological Seminary and College of the Bible is a private Bible college in Newburgh, Indiana. It was established on June 1, 2003 by Dr. Glenn Mollette.

Newburgh Theological Seminary is a non-denominational Christian seminary, which specializes in correspondence and independent study education.

The Seminary offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees in academic fields such as Ministry, Theology, Biblical Studies, Biblical Preaching, Christian Education, Christian Counseling, Christian Sales and Marketing, Apologetics, and Church Administration.

While Newburgh Theological Seminary is selective in its admission process, it has students from all over the world enrolled in its degree programs.

Regarding accreditation, Newburgh Theological Seminary has chosen to opt-out of government accreditation, for fear it may "weaken [their] ability to train men and women to be effective servants of Christ."

Even though the Seminary is not accredited by any government-recognized accrediting agency, it is legally authorized by the State of Indiana and its Commission of Higher Education to grant educational degrees and certifications.

In the United States, educational accreditation is an optional and voluntary process of evaluation, which purports to assess the quality of a school or educational institute.

In regard to academics, Newburgh Theological Seminary has a rigorous curriculum for each of its academic programs.

With the help of an academic adviser, students choose a combination of subjects, consisting of required and elective courses, for their selected major.

While the specific requirements for each academic program may vary, course work mainly consists of writing essays or synopses of existing literary work.

In this regard, Newburgh Theological Seminary has what some may consider to be an unconventional approach to education; for in lieu of employing tests and exams to grade students, it requires students to submit written assignments for each and all their respective courses.

Seminary staff subscribe to the belief that synoptic writing is one of the best ways to demonstrate learning and academic prowess.

In this respect, Newburgh Theological Seminary strives to instill a superior work ethic in students, equipping them to be effective leaders, as a function of an emphasis on a practical approach to ministerial training.

The institution remains non-denominational in philosophy, preaching and teaching Christian theological doctrine consistent with Biblical content, while refraining from endorsing dogmatism or any one denominational catechism.

The majority of the faculty at Newburgh Seminary have been schooled at Baptist and Anglican seminaries or universities, and hold true to their respective denominational persuasion.

At the same time, however, each remains committed to not compromising the established nondenominational standards and academics of the Seminary.
