TFM Program

Biblical Studies

Biblical doctrine, biblical principles, and biblical church practice — the foundation for a life of ministry.

Everything a missionary builds stands on the foundation of the Word of God. The Biblical Studies program grounds each student in biblical doctrine, biblical principles, and biblical church practice — the truths they will teach, defend, and live out on the field.

Courses move verse by verse and doctrine by doctrine, with written assignments that push students to study for themselves rather than repeat what they’ve heard. Mentors read and respond to every assignment personally.
