Voice of Truth Bible Institute

A Message From Our Chancellor

Welcome to Voice of Truth Bible Institute. Voice of Truth Bible Institute is designed to teach men and women the Word of God, to train those who have been called into the ministry, and to assist those who are already in the ministry. We realize that not everyone is called to the ministry to preach, but would just like to learn more about the Word of God, and how to apply the Word of God to their daily lives. We offer that opportunity for those who just simply want to learn more about the Bible and the doctrines of the Bible. We uphold that the Bible is the Inspired, Infallible, and Inerrant (Without Error in the Original Autographs) Word of God (Prov.30:5; 2 Tim.3:16; 2 Pet.1:20-21). Voice of Truth Bible Institute is overseen by our Church, Voice of Truth Ministries. To all prospective students, our goal here at Voice of Truth Bible Institute is to provide you with a sound theological education, so that you will be fully equipped to labor in God's Vineyard. We will assist you in any way that we can to ensure that your study with us will be a rewarding experience. We look forward to serving you.

In Christ Service,

Dr. Ray A. Mason, Chancellor, Voice of Truth Bible Institute

About Our School

Voice of Truth Bible Institute was founded by Pastor Dr. Ray A. Mason  in order to serve the needs of those who are not able to pursue a traditional Seminary degree, but still have a desire to learn as much as possible in their pursuit of Biblical knowledge. Our school is a Christian school, and as such, WE TEACH NO SECULAR COURSES. Our school is designed to provide specialized Religious training to men and women with a basic College and Seminary level knowledge of theology. Our program is a 15 month program, and at the completion of the program, graduates will receive a Diploma in Theological Studies, and an Associate of Theology in Biblical Subjects. Our program is a 60 credit hour program. We ARE NOT regionally or nationally accredited, but we are accredited by the World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions (WWAC). The WWAC is a Christian organization designed to accredit Christian Bible Schools and Seminaries. The WWAC IS NOT affiliated with ANY Governmental Agencies, therefore they ARE NOT regionally recognised. The cost of our program is $50 Dollars per program. Also, there is a $25 dollar non-refundable registration fee, so, the total for each program is $75 dollars. The only other financial obligation of the students is to purchase any required textbooks that's needed for the class. The primary textbook is the Bible. Other textbooks will be determined by the Instructor of the course. We offer so much for so little. Don't let the low cost fool you. You will receive a top notch education at a low cost, because we believe that a theological education should be affordable and sound. Our goal is to provide students with the finest Biblical education at the lowest possible cost. Therefore, we have deliberately priced our course very low, because we believe that we can do more good for more people this way. That's what we offer here at Voice of Truth Bible Institute.

**TO GOD BE THE GLORY**

ROMANS 8:29-30

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
