Student life

Life at Tri-Cities

The Tri-Cities School of Preaching & Christian Development develops life-long students of the Bible. You will spend two or three years of intensive study, with classes three days each week led by highly qualified instructors.

Outside the classroom, assignments increase your knowledge and your ability to develop as a student of the Bible, and as a teacher and presenter of what Scripture teaches.

Training preachers

We desire that God have workers to proclaim the glorious message of Christ, and we help men know how to defend the faith in the modern age.

Equipping Christians

Elders, deacons, teachers, parents, students of the Word, those retired and new converts are encouraged to audit any class at no cost except their time and best effort.
