"Dr Bill's ability to organize and convey a huge amount of information in a short period of time is seriously impressive."
Hi, I'm Bill Giovannetti,
Founder of Veritas School of Biblical Ministry...
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. 

You are invited. Thanks for being here. 

In His Matchless Grace,
Bill

FAQs
Do I need a Bachelor's Degree to enroll?
No. 
But you do need to be pretty good at reading and writing. These classes are taught at a Master's degree level.
If you're okay with the 101 Basics course, you'll do fine throughout the program. 

You must be 16 or older to enroll. 

How much time will each class take?
Most classes include 3 to 6 videos, ranging from 1-3 hours each. Readings are assigned before each class for your benefit and growth. You can complete a class in 1-2 months depending on your own pace and schedule. There are never any deadlines, and there's no pressure.
Do you give grades?
Our goal is equipping and informing, not adding pressure to your life. 

Here is our grading system: 

PASS (Credit)
PASS (Audit)
INCOMPLETE (Credit)
INCOMPLETE (Audit)

Incompletes may be completed by attending all missing lectures and turning in missing assignments within 9 months of the class start date. 
Will I study Hebrew and Greek?
We offer course 401 STARTING BIBLICAL GREEK as an extra add-on to our program. This is entirely optional. It's a kinder, gentler way of learning New Testament Greek.

At this point, we are not offering Hebrew classes, though students may cross-register with A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary for Hebrew. 
What does Veritas believe?
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.
How long will Veritas take?
The Master of Ministry certification will take about 2-3 years. Some have completed it in one year. Each year offers 4 series of classes plus one service project, for a total of 12 classes and 3 service projects. You get numerous OPTIONAL bonus classes and webinars too, for a well-rounded Biblical foundation.
Is Veritas 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 or turn in homework?
No and maybe.
 
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 required for the Master of Ministry degree.

Homework is NOT required, however, if you simply want to audit the program. 

Auditors will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. 
You CAN Do this!
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)

God is doing something special here at Veritas and at Pathway Church. It's not because we're better than anyone else. It's only because we're intentionally, continually tuned in to God's radical, scandalous, truly amazing Grace.

It's the Bible's best kept open secret.

It's what got Jesus in trouble with religious people. It's what got the prophets of old laughed at, ignored, and thrown to lions.
It's been attacked by critics, ignored by theologians, and banned by clergy.

Churches water it down. Preachers mix it with law. Pastors temper it with works. Church-people hem it in with "yes-buts" and disclaimers. They pay lip-service to Grace, but they mean a lukewarm substitute for the real thing.

Real Grace is a blood-bought edifice of love and truth...
 - so beautiful it takes your breath away,
 - so complex you can't comprehend,
 - so counter-intuitive you can scarcely believe,
 - so simple a child can get it.
 
Such Grace is almost impossible to find, like diamonds hidden in the earth.

It's almost impossible to believe, because it feels too good to be true.

But once you see it, you can't unsee it. It heals the broken places in your heart. It rewires the damaged circuits of your soul. It opens the door to heaven. It truly, really, actually sets the captives free.

It's the Good News you've been looking for. It's what the people you serve long for, without knowing. 
 
Grace is the outflow of the Cross of Christ. The free gift of Calvary love.

Grace is the centerpiece of both Veritas School and Pathway Church. It's what we want to be known for.
 
Join the Veritas Residency at Pathway Church. 
 
Get Grace.

Because when you get Grace, you get everything else God offers too.
 
In the VERITAS RESIDENCY, we equip MINISTERS OF RADICAL GRACE and ALL-ENCOMPASSING TRUTH.
