Value Meets Affordability

Tuition

At EWBTS, we believe that quality theological education should be accessible and affordable. That’s why our tuition rates are significantly lower than the national average. Students who are members of EWBTS-affiliated churches enjoy additional savings through specially reduced rates for on-campus courses. Whether you’re preparing for ministry, missions, or academic scholarship, EWBTS is committed to helping you pursue your calling without the burden of overwhelming debt. Explore our tuition and fees to see how affordable your path to ministry can be.

FINANCIAL AID

The Financial Aid Office at EWBTS is dedicated to supporting students throughout their academic journey. We offer a variety of scholarships designed to assist both full-time and part-time students across all levels of education. Whether you’re just beginning your studies or pursuing advanced training, our goal is to help make your education as affordable as possible through generous financial aid opportunities.

 

EWBTS Center for Church Excellence

The EWBTS Center for Church Excellence is committed to equipping and supporting those serving in bivocational and small church ministry. To help make theological education more accessible, the center offers full tuition scholarships specifically for Baptist ministers from selected states who are actively serving in these vital roles. These scholarships are available to students pursuing certificate programs, undergraduate degrees, or master’s-level studies. Through this initiative, EWBTS aims to strengthen local churches by investing in the leadership of those faithfully serving in smaller ministry contexts.

Student Housing

EWBTS is proud to offer affordable on-campus housing options designed to meet the needs of our diverse student community. Whether you’re a single student, a married couple, or a family, EWBTS provides comfortable and convenient living spaces that support your academic and spiritual journey. Our housing rates are typically about half the cost of comparable living arrangements in the city, making it easier for students to focus on their studies without the stress of high living expenses. With a welcoming campus environment and a supportive community, EWBTS housing is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to grow.

Equipping Servant Leaders

Ministry preparation goes beyond the classroom—it’s woven into everyday life. At EWBTS, our students actively live out their calling by bringing the gospel to diverse communities, from busy city streets to quiet rural areas, faithfully serving wherever they’re called.

Devotion

Walking with Christ

Apostle, Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., often reminds us that the most important part of our day is seeking the Lord. At EWBTS, we encourage and guide our students to walk closely with Christ through chapel services, prayer groups, and other spiritual growth opportunities that nurture a deep and daily relationship with Him.

Proclamation

Proclaiming His Truth

A powerful way we proclaim the gospel is through the EWBTS Center for Church Excellence. This center provides invaluable resources to support smaller membership churches while also offering scholarships to students who are actively serving in those ministry contexts. Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen the proclamation of God’s truth in communities that need it most.

Mission

And Fulfill His Mission

At EWBTS, everything we do is focused on fulfilling the mission of Christ. Whether it’s providing our students with opportunities to participate in mission trips or through our partnerships with the IMB and NAMB, we are dedicated to taking the gospel from local communities to all people across the world. Our commitment is to spread His truth far and wide, reaching those who need it most.

Excellent Word Bible Seminary has been a great blessing in my life, there are not many colleges in the area, and I wanted a school that could not only teach me the word of God but show me how to use it In my everyday life, a school that would be able to give me revelation knowledge to apply it in day to day, Things I face, and to help people that I come in contact with on a daily basis. In my opinion, I believe Dr. Carolyn Jones can not only hear, but is being led by God in what she chooses for her curriculum. Dr. Jones has a passion for teaching the word of God that I have never seen, Dr. Jones is a very dedicated instructor, she makes sure we understand the topic, and always provides handouts that are very informative. This school is a great asset to this area, I thank God that Apostle Samuel & Dr. Carolyn C Jones had the vision and the heart to hear God and follow His leading.

Excellent Word Bible Seminary is a great Seminary for Christians in all area of ministries to gain more revelation knowledge. I would encourage and challenges anyone to take these classes, if they would like to fulfill the purpose God has called them to. The materials and lessons that we receive from our teachers (Apostle Samuel &Dr. Carolyn C. Jones) will make you hungry and thirsty for more wisdom and understanding of God’s word. What I like most is that they will make sure we get an understanding on what is being taught.

I had been preaching and ministering for several years And finally discover the true meaning of why God called me to preach the Gospel, during the first years of my youth ministry I was blessed to sit under Apostle Samuel and Dr. Carolyn teaching, it was there I got my start and when I needed more training, God sent me to them again, I was eagerly encouraging them to start the seminary here in Oakland, Ms. which is so badly needed. Thank God they obeyed. Excellent Word has truly been a blessing to me and my church. May God Bless You and Your Ministry
