The crispness of fall is in the air, and with it comes a new season of learning and growth. At Covenant Bible Institute (CBI), we believe every class is more than just an academic step—it’s an opportunity to deepen your understanding of God’s Word, clarify your calling, and live out your faith with greater confidence.
But here’s the important reminder: fall registration closes on September 19, 2025. That means this is your last chance to register for this quarter’s classes. Whether you’re pursuing a certificate, working toward a diploma, or simply looking to strengthen your walk with Christ, the courses offered this fall are designed to meet you where you are and move you forward.

Fall 2025 Course Offerings
This quarter, CBI is offering three courses that are foundational for both formal academic programs and for everyday discipleship:
- Understanding the Theology of Identity and Vocation
- Understanding Biblical Interpretation (Hermeneutics)
- The Book of Romans
Each of these courses stands on its own, offering rich biblical insights and practical application. At the same time, they also form key building blocks for CBI’s certificate and diploma programs. For students who may one day want to transfer their work into a degree through Kairos University, these classes can count toward that path as well.
Let’s take a closer look at each course—and how they can benefit you, both academically and spiritually.
Understanding the Theology of Identity and Vocation
This course is required for all CBI certificate programs, and for good reason. One of the most important questions every believer faces is: Who am I, and how has God called me to serve?
Through a careful exploration of Scripture and theology, this class helps you root your identity in Christ and discover how your gifts, passions, and circumstances can be directed toward God’s purposes.
Who should take it?
- Students beginning a certificate program—it’s a foundational class, required for all our certificates.
- Believers seeking clarity in their calling, whether in ministry, the marketplace, or everyday life.
- Anyone wrestling with how faith intersects with career, family, and service.
Practical application for any believer: Imagine moving forward with greater confidence, no longer second-guessing your path but seeing how God has uniquely equipped you for His mission. This course equips you with a framework to live out your vocation faithfully, wherever He has placed you.
Understanding Biblical Interpretation (Hermeneutics)
This course is required for all CBI certificate and diploma programs. If you’re considering any program of study at CBI, this is a must.
But hermeneutics isn’t just for future pastors or seminary students. Every believer who opens the Bible faces the same challenge: How do I interpret this passage faithfully? How do I apply it to my life and share it with others?
Who should take it?
- Students who want to go deeper into academic study by pursuing any of our certificate or diploma programs.
- Bible study leaders, teachers, and ministry volunteers.
- Any believer who has ever struggled to make sense of difficult passages.
Practical application for any believer: This class equips you to read Scripture with clarity and confidence. You’ll not only gain tools for your own study but also be better prepared to guide others in understanding God’s Word accurately. In a world filled with competing interpretations, this training is invaluable.
The Book of Romans
Few books of the Bible have shaped Christian theology as profoundly as Romans. This course offers an in-depth study of Paul’s letter, tracing themes of sin, grace, justification, and new life in Christ.
For academic purposes, Romans can be taken as an elective for some certificate programs. It also fulfills one of the required New Testament courses for a Diploma in Biblical Studies.
Who should take it?
- Students pursuing a Diploma in Biblical Studies.
- Believers who want to strengthen their grasp of the gospel message.
- Anyone seeking to understand how theology connects with everyday Christian living.
Practical application for any believer: Romans is not just theological—it’s transformational. This course helps you connect timeless truths about salvation and grace with your daily walk. It will also give you greater confidence in explaining the gospel to others.
How These Classes Fit Your Goals
One of the unique strengths of Covenant Bible Institute is flexibility. Not everyone who takes a class is pursuing a degree or certificate—and that’s okay. These courses are designed to serve you in different ways, depending on your goals:
- Certificate Programs: Start building your foundation with Theology of Identity and Vocation or Hermeneutics. Whether you’re pursuing a Certificate in Chaplaincy, Systematic Theology, or another field, you’ll need these courses.
- Diploma Programs: Deepen your study with required courses like Hermeneutics and New Testament electives such as Romans.
- Degree Pathways: Earn credits that can transfer into a program like the Bachelor of Arts in Christian Thought and Practice with our partner, Kairos University.
- Personal Enrichment: Take one class at a time to grow in faith, knowledge, and confidence in living out God’s Word.
Whether you’re preparing for formal ministry or simply want to understand the Bible better, each of these fall courses offers life-changing value.
Learning That Fits Your Life
CBI understands that life is busy. Many of our students are balancing jobs, family responsibilities, and ministry involvement. That’s why our courses are offered in flexible formats designed to fit your schedule. You’ll have access to experienced instructors, supportive classmates, and resources that help you thrive in your studies without overwhelming your life.
Learning at CBI is not about checking boxes—it’s about transformation. Students consistently share how what they learn in class spills over into their families, workplaces, and ministries. These courses are designed to do more than fill your mind with knowledge; they shape your heart and hands for service.
