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 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.

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.

For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword...

| How long will it take me to complete my Master of Ministry certification program? |
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.
| Do I have to come to California? |
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.
| Is Veritas School of Biblical Ministry accredited? |
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!
| Do I have to take tests and turn in homework? |
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.
