Chaplaincy and Academic Programs

The House of Healing International Ministries Believers Fellowship

Introduction

The House of Healing International Ministries Believers Fellowship is a non‑denominational nonprofit dedicated to spiritual growth, leadership development, and compassionate service. We prepare individuals to serve both local and global communities through chaplaincy and theological education, while also supporting families in need through outreach funded by tuition and donations.

Our Mission

We exist to cultivate leaders who embody biblical wisdom, integrity, and compassion. Through training and mentorship, we equip chaplains and ministry leaders to provide care that honors diverse backgrounds and fosters healing.

Chaplaincy Training

Our Faith‑Based Chaplaincy Certification provides a strong foundation in biblical education and ministerial preparation. Students develop skills in spiritual support, compassionate care, crisis response, and ethical leadership. The program equips individuals to serve in diverse settings where emotional and spiritual needs are present.

Academic Programs

The Believer’s Fellowship is an approved online extension authorized to provide the following academic programs in partnership with Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute. All coursework is delivered in an accessible online format while maintaining academic integrity and theological consistency.

Associate in Biblical Studies (ABS)

This program equips students in the fundamentals of personal, independent Bible study. It serves as the first step in a sequential, foundational plan for sincere students of Scripture. The Associate in Biblical Studies is divided into two sections and introduces the student to the Bible in a survey format.

Bachelor of Biblical Studies (BBS)

This program provides an extensive personal Bible study plan that guides the student through the entire Bible in one year. It is designed to support consistent, honest, daily Bible reading and deeper scriptural understanding.

Master of Theology (MTh)

Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies. Students entering with deficiencies compared to the Bachelor of Theology curriculum may be required to complete additional studies alongside the program requirements.

The Master of Theology is designed for pastoral ministry, addressing essential areas needed for effective service. While no seminary program can supply everything a pastor will ever need, this program equips students to value continued study and growth and to develop the skills necessary to pursue further equipping as needed. The focus is on applied theology. Upon completion, students are awarded the Master of Theology degree.

Doctor of Pastoral Theology (ThD)

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree in Biblical Studies. Any deficiencies may be addressed within the overall program requirements. This program focuses on researching and articulating a Biblical and Christian theology specifically related to planting, establishing, and sustaining a healthy local church. It is designed for pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and associate pastors.

The program begins with the foundation of the indwelling life of Christ as taught in the book of Acts and the Pastoral Epistles. Students then apply systematic doctrines of Scripture to develop strategies for Biblical evangelism and discipleship aimed at multiplication and spiritual growth within the local church. Successful completion results in a dissertation or major ministry project that demonstrates a functional and applied Biblical ministry model for the local church.

Accreditation

Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute is accredited by the Accrediting Commission International, the world’s largest non‑government school accrediting association. Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute is not accredited by any government accrediting organization and has no plans to pursue governmental accreditation to maintain doctrinal autonomy, to continue utilizing a Christian‑educated faculty to ensure theological and philosophical consistency and the pursuit of governmental accreditation would make these goals increasingly difficult.
