Welcome to the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy. We offer degrees of a religious nature. We do not offer secular degrees or degrees in the physical sciences. Although our degrees are religious in nature, they carry the same privileges and rights as secular degrees.

Degrees at the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy are earned through the completion of assigned coursework. Life experience credit can also be given, but NOT for an entire degree. Whether you are a minister, lay person, or pastoral practitioner, you can earn your religious degree with us. Through our earned degree courses, you can earn your degree while also expanding your knowledge, talents, and abilities in your chosen field. All degrees at the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy are EARNED DEGREES. There is always coursework that must be completed. We are NOT a degree mill.

The courses at the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy are available to everyone who meets our entrance requirements. Our courses require comprehensive study and self-discipline, as our Seminary is online with no physical campus. All coursework and degrees are earned online.

The purpose of the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy is to help our students develop the skills required of clergy and/or laity in their chosen field of study and work. We set high standards for our students’ work, and our courses require focused study.

As our students enter their field of study, they will discover new ways to share what they have learned and skills with others along the way. As our students complete their coursework, they will discover that helping others is much simpler than their prior knowledge suggested.

As a religious seminary, the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy is not accredited by a government agency. We are based in Canada. The Constitution separates Church from State. No school that offers studies in religion can really claim to be more correct than any other religious school since they are established by man and not the Creator you seek. Legal accreditation is only offered in the secular field and does not apply to religious study. The Department of Education does not accredit religious schools. A Seminary is a religious school. Schools that claim accreditation do so through private accrediting agencies and have no real value beyond any other legally conferred degree.

So what does all this mean to you, the student?

If you earn a Doctorate degree from the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy, even though it is a religious degree, you still have the right to use the title of “Doctor.” Doctorates issued by religious or secular schools have the same rights of acknowledgement.

Some degrees issued by the Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy are honorary and not earned. You will find, however, that honorary degrees issued are rare. An honorary degree is granted for one’s life experience within a specific field of work or practice. It is official recognition of a person who has advanced greatly their field of work and/or study. Honorary degrees may also be awarded to persons who have worked in a specific field for a long time and who have shown great knowledge, wisdom, service, and contribution in their fields. Any person receiving an honorary doctorate degree is entitled to use the title of “Doctor” as well. The title “Doctor” was originally a Church title, long, long before it was used in the academic or secular world. It represents the pinnacle of learning, knowledge, and wisdom in one’s chosen field of work and/or study.

The Footsteps of Jesus Seminary and Bible Academy wants to provide our seminary students with the most beneficial pastoral and religious education possible. To this end, we even offer personalized degree programs based on students’ desires, needs, and background knowledge and experience, as well as input from our experienced and knowledgeable staff.

Partial Scholarships and life experience credit are both available towards the degrees. Life experience credit, also known as Extra-Institutional Learning, is defined as learning acquired outside educational institutions.
