These lectures are the same ones I have been teaching in seminaries and universities for decades... But now I can offer them without all the overhead, hoops, and needless costs. 
 
I grew up in Awana clubs, and was mentored by some of the founders of Awana itself. Since childhood, I've had a love for Scripture, and the deep things of God.

I remember sitting in seminary classes, under professors like Dr. Paul Feinberg, Dr. Wayne Grudem, S. Lewis Johnson, Scott McKnight, and Dr. Stuart Hackett. I heard lectures on theology and Scripture, and thought, "I am the richest guy in the world."

I knew there were people around the world who would give their right arm to do what I was doing in those classes. 

Right there, a dream was born. 

I thought, Why should the wonders of God's love be reserved for crusty scholars and people who had time to put life on pause while they attended seminary?

It's time to bring the church back to the Bible, and the Bible back to the church.
 
Veritas School of Biblical Ministry is the overflow of a lifetime of loving God through his Word. 

If you are interested in becoming an agent of GRACE AND TRUTH in a culture of CONFUSION AND PAIN, then you're in the right place. Let's go! 

In His Matchless Grace,
Bill

A few places where Bill has been featured...
Avoid Overpriced Seminary Costs with Our Affordable Program. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average tuition and fees for a private school is $38,800 per year.
 

That doesn't include the cost of housing or other living expenses.

A Master's program typically takes 2 years. So you're looking at $100K all in.
 
According to The Urban Ministry Institute, "this price tag has become one of the main barriers to training more leaders for the ministry."
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the Word of Truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
 
For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword...
Hebrews 4:12

Your Questions Answered

No.  But you do need to be good at reading and writing. These classes are taught at a Master's degree level.
The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of Scripture and a motivation to grow and learn. At Veritas, we do not believe in making you jump through hoops to learn. Whether you're a homemaker, car mechanic, surgeon, bike shop owner, dancer, baker, mom, dad, or single, and you'll prosper and flourish in Veritas. 
Each course consists of 80-100 pages of printable notes and 6-9 hours of video and audio lectures. 
 
If you cover 4-5 lectures (Theology Flow) per week, you can complete a course in less than a month. 
 
We are converting all our courses to our Theology Flow format, with each lecture lasting 20-40 minutes.
 
You can watch or listen at your convenience on any device at any time. 
 
PROGRESS TRACKING will help you keep track of how close you are to you goal.

Why would we? What will that accomplish? 
 
Our students are self-motivated believers in Jesus who want to go deeper with God. 
 
Our goal is equipping and informing, not adding pressure to your life. 

So, no grades. Listen and learn. Veritas is what you make of it. 
The staff, faculty, and teachings of VSBM are conservative and evangelical in theology and life. We believe the Bible, interpreted according to grammatical-historical methodology, is the supreme authority for faith and life. 

We also see God's Amazing Grace as the centerpiece of Scripture and Theology. 

  • The heart of Scripture is Christ. 
  • The heart of Christ is Grace. 
  • The heart of Grace is the Cross. 

We affirm the doctrinal statement of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, and fully endorse the Chicago Statements on Biblical Inerrancy and Hermeneutics.
Normally our students complete the program in under one year. However, there is a wide range. 
 
Since you work at your own pace, you may take longer. 
 
Your enrollment is good for 3 years. Extensions beyond the 3 years will incur a $100 fee per year. 
 
You get numerous OPTIONAL bonus classes and webinars too, for a well-rounded Biblical foundation.
No. 
 
Classes are offered online only. 
 
Special events may be offered at Pathway Church in Redding, CA, and you will be welcome to attend in person (travel, room, and board at your own expense), but we will make every effort to live-stream these events and then provide replays in your portal. 
No. We are not accredited and we do not offer a degree.
 
But these are the same classes that have been taught for over 25 years by Dr. Bill Giovannetti at seminary and university in two states.
 
The goal is that you get equipped for greater, deeper, broader ministry effectiveness than ever before -- for Christ and His Gospel!
Our goal is to expose as many students as possible to in-depth equipping and teaching in handling God's Word and leading God's church.

Homework is not required for the Master of Ministry certification.
