Flexible Theological Education for Florida & the Caribbean Islands
Study Where You Work
BSK’s approach to distance education is warmly relational and academically challenging. In live Zoom sessions you will interact with professors and fellow students. For each course our online system supports learning beyond the classroom. BSK also offers full access to the Digital Theological Library, allowing serious research from anywhere you have a connection. Classes meet just once per week, making scheduling easier for busy lives. Contextual ministry is also a part of the M.Div. program, providing supervised ministry experience.
Belong to a community
Building relationships with faculty, staff and fellow students is vital to our approach to theological education. Our partnerships provide a rich and diverse community in which to learn. We are the official seminary of the National Baptist Convention of America, predominately Black 3.5-million-member denomination. BSK, founded in 2002, has been affiliated with CBF since its birth. These partnerships provide significant networking opportunities for students and alumni.

How is BSK seeking racial justice?
Our M.Div. curriculum was revisioned in 2020 to infuse our courses with Black voices. From history and theology to mission and biblical studies, Black church voices and content are key. We also require all M.Div. students to take a course in Black Church and Womanist Theology.
Most important, the diversity of our student body means students learn from one another, and shape networks and support that can last a lifetime.
