In addition, students track their spiritual development by keeping journals of their spiritual and daily activities.
Testimonials

"Get free from the comments of people!"
"Don't concern yourself with the people who are going to talk about you. If you are gonna ever do ministry, you better get free from the comments of people. Because people are gonna talk about you whether you are doing good, bad, or nothing at all.
- Dr. Michael Freeman, FCBI Founder & Chancellor
from his address at the FCBI Chancellor's Leaders of Excellence Forum (April 8, 2025)

""Don't Buck the Process!"
Don't buck the process... Don't get offended at the process... Don't throw in the towel during the process... Don't murmur and complain about the process... Don't cause the process to cause you to look for somewhere else to go... For in the process, you are being prepared for a heavier weight of His glory!
— Pastor Ken Claytor, SOFBI Alumni & Senior Pastor of Alive Church (Gainesville, FL)
from his Keynote Address to the SOFBI Class of 2011

"No One Can Back Me Down"
In all these places where I'm able to share the love of Christ on a day-to-day basis, the training in SOFBI has truly helped me with my boldness and with my confidence because, when I know the Word, no one can back me down. There's no fear here because I'm strong and confident and bold in what I believe!
— Pastor Brelyn Bowman, SOFBI Class of 2015 & Pastoral Staff Member of Faith City Central (Brandywine, MD)
Diploma of Ministerial Studies
The Diploma of Ministerial Studies is a three-year program designed to build upon the breadth, depth and application of Biblical doctrine. Upon completion of this program, students will have a solid, Biblical foundation that will be useful for life and ministry, as well as the scriptural inspiration to put into practice the Word of God.
