Training Church Leaders

Jacksonville Baptist Theological Seminary is a local, flexible, personal, and practical seminary focused on training the church leaders of today and the future. Our programs offer night, online, and remote classes that make biblical training flexible to fit your schedule. 

Our practical ministry focus helps equip leaders while they are in ministry. This practical application helps our students to learn while still being active in their local church. Our faculty has years of “on the ground” ministry experience that translates to a classroom experience and personalized attention that helps students thrive.

Local partnerships

JBTS is always seeking to foster new relationships within the local church community, and we’re pleased to announce that JBTS is now in full partnership with The Jacksonville Baptist Association. This new relationship will help to strengthen connections with existing Jacksonville area churches and provide new avenues for our students to attend JBA leadership training events and seminars. We’re excited to see what God will do in this new partnership.
