Johnson describes itself as a Christ-centered community where students grow in faith, deepen purpose, and prepare for meaningful service in their careers and in the world. The university’s mission is to educate and develop students who advance the worldwide mission of Christ through their lives, ministries, and careers.
Founded in 1893 by Ashley and Emma Johnson, the school’s history includes earlier names such as the School of Evangelists (1893) and Johnson Bible College (1909), before becoming Johnson University in 2011. Johnson’s institutional story emphasizes continuity in Christian formation and affordability, while expanding academic scope and degree delivery over time. The university also notes that it acquired Florida Christian College in 2013 and later closed the Kissimmee campus in 2024 due to sustainability challenges.
Johnson’s academic identity is shaped by its commitment to biblical formation alongside professional preparation. One distinctive Johnson highlights is a dual-major approach, where students complete a major in Bible & Theology along with a major of their choice. The university organizes programs across multiple academic schools, supporting students pursuing church ministry and missions as well as education, leadership, counseling-related pathways, and other career directions.
Campus life is tied closely to Johnson’s formation goals, combining community rhythms, spiritual development, and student support resources. The Tennessee campus sits along the French Broad River in south Knoxville, positioning students in a rural-style campus environment while remaining within reach of Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains region. Alongside on-campus life, Johnson also offers online programs designed for students who need flexibility due to work, family, or ministry responsibilities.
People can engage Johnson University in several ways. Prospective students can explore admissions resources, request information, and connect with the admissions team by phone or email. Churches and ministry partners often connect with Johnson through student internships, ministry preparation, and pathways that prepare graduates for congregational and mission service. Supporters can participate through giving opportunities that help fund scholarships and student success initiatives aligned with the university’s mission.

While its office and mailing address remain in Charlottetown, MCC emphasizes that its learning model is designed for students who need flexibility alongside work, family, and ministry responsibilities.
MCC’s approach is built around Scripture as the central textbook and reference point for training. The college describes its role as preparing men and women for Christian service—training students to preach, teach, and live in harmony with God’s Word. Historically connected with the Restoration Movement tradition (Christian churches and churches of Christ), MCC’s focus is practical preparation for disciple-focused ministry and leadership in local churches and everyday contexts.
A defining distinctive of MCC today is that its platform is completely online, which expands access beyond a single campus setting. Students engage courses through an asynchronous structure that includes readings, discussion posts, and assignments within a weekly schedule. This model supports learners who live far from a residential Bible college or who are already serving in ministry and want structured training without relocating.
MCC highlights several program pathways, including its Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership, which provides advanced leadership training for disciple-focused ministry, and certificate programs designed to build core biblical skills. The Disciple Makers Path is presented as a short sequence of courses intended to help students develop practical disciple-making confidence, and the “How to Study the Bible” certificate is designed to strengthen foundational skills for reading and interpreting Scripture.
Alongside academics, MCC builds community through shared learning and ongoing communication with supporters. The college hosts the KT Norris Lectures as an annual gathering featuring a guest speaker and worship, and it publishes the Maritime Messenger to keep students, alumni, donors, and friends updated on MCC life and events. For those who want to participate beyond enrollment, MCC offers multiple giving pathways—including general donations, a monthly FRIENDS program, and a Legacy Fund—to support disciple-making education with a global reach through online learning.

Memphis School of Preaching (MSOP) is a Church of Christ-affiliated preaching school based in Memphis, Tennessee, dedicated to training men to preach the Word. MSOP operates alongside the Forest Hill Church of Christ and serves students who want concentrated Bible instruction and practical preparation for gospel preaching and congregational work.
MSOP’s public mission statement emphasizes “Preach the Word” and frames the school’s purpose around equipping students for ministry through focused study, spiritual formation, and hands-on experience. The school’s approach highlights a disciplined schedule and community life designed to help students grow in biblical knowledge, preaching ability, and Christian character while preparing for service in local churches and evangelistic work.
In addition to its core on-campus training, MSOP extends instruction and encouragement through several programs that reach beyond the classroom. The MOST Program (MSOP Ongoing Spiritual Training) provides free, university-level Bible instruction via live stream, allowing people who cannot relocate to participate in structured learning. MSOP also hosts an annual Lectureship—a week of Bible study and worship that draws participants to Memphis for teaching tracks and fellowship.
MSOP invests in next-generation development through Foundations, a summer training week for teenage boys (ages 13–19) held on the MSOP campus. The school also publishes the Yokefellow newsletter to encourage and inform supporters and alumni, and it features a weekly radio program, “Students of the Word,” connected with The Gospel Radio Network. Together, these efforts reflect an operating model that combines resident training with broader resources for churches, families, and individuals seeking biblical teaching.
Ways to engage with MSOP include visiting the campus, applying for admission, participating in programs like the Lectureship or MOST, and supporting the school financially. MSOP’s giving initiatives include “500 For The Five,” a recurring-donation effort aimed at helping cover major operational costs tied to key areas such as publications, events, facilities, and library support. Those interested in connecting can use MSOP’s contact page for office details and inquiries.

A key distinctive in MSCC’s approach is its emphasis that “Launching a ministry is the curriculum,” integrating classroom learning with hands-on ministry development.
At the undergraduate level, MSCC highlights the Bachelor of Christian Leadership as its flagship program. In that cohort-based degree, students are placed on a team that studies together across four years and works to envision, plan, and launch a new ministry outreach before graduation. MSCC also outlines structural supports tied to this model, including personal mentoring and a tuition approach that allows students to lock in their tuition rate for the duration of their program once enrolled.
In addition to the flagship bachelor’s program, MSCC offers multiple undergraduate pathways. These include dual-degree programs offered in conjunction with Indiana Wesleyan University, along with certificate and associate options for students seeking foundational Bible college training or preparation for supportive ministry roles. Certificate offerings include a Certificate in Bible (33 semester hours) and a Certificate in Christian Ministry in Bible/Preaching (66 semester hours), while associate programs are offered in Christian Ministry with emphases in Bible/Preaching, Bible/Missions, and Bible/Christian Education.
MSCC also offers graduate programs in a format designed for students balancing ministry and other responsibilities. The college states its graduate programs are offered in a hybrid format, with much instruction taking place online (including Zoom meetings, forums, and synchronous/asynchronous content) and with an on-campus requirement: each semester, students attend a week of in-person activities on campus. MSCC’s graduate degree offerings include the Master of Christian Ministry and the Doctor of Ministry, with information provided for admissions requirements and course structure.
As an institution, MSCC notes that it is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) to grant certificates and degrees at multiple levels. MSCC also states it is authorized for operation as a postsecondary educational institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. For those wanting to engage, MSCC invites prospective students to apply and visit campus, churches to partner in raising up leaders, and supporters to give—by mailing a check to the college’s designated giving address or connecting through MSCC’s donation page.

Middle Tennessee School of Preaching and Biblical Studies — Organization Profile
Middle Tennessee School of Preaching and Biblical Studies (often shortened as MTSOP) is a churches of Christ–supported Bible training program offering tuition-free evening classes focused on Scripture and sound teaching. The school’s stated purpose centers on preparing Christians to teach others (2 Timothy 2:2), with an emphasis on strengthening Bible knowledge for both public ministry and everyday service in the church.
MTSOP serves learners across Middle Tennessee through a rotating term schedule hosted at multiple congregational locations. For recent terms, locations listed by the school include Culleoka, Mt. Juliet, Christiana, Lynnville, McMinnville, College Grove, and Woodbury (with an additional site sometimes listed depending on the term). This multi-location approach allows students to attend near home, and it also lets members of local congregations participate alongside those pursuing more formal training.
The program is structured around weeknight instruction. Classes are offered on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, and the school notes that all classes are evening classes. Courses are generally open to men and women (unless a class is specifically noted otherwise), and the school welcomes beginning Bible students as well as those with more experience. Students may attend any location they choose and can take as many—or as few—classes as they wish in a given period.
MTSOP also provides a simple credit pathway for those who want to complete a full course of study. Courses “usually earn one unit of credit,” and the school lists 36 credits required for graduation. At the same time, the school keeps participation accessible: there is no tuition charge and no fees from enrollment to graduation. Students are encouraged to bring a Bible and come prepared to study, with instruction provided by preachers and teachers from churches of Christ who volunteer their time to support the school’s mission.
For churches and individuals, engagement often looks like hosting a site, encouraging members to enroll, and supporting the teachers who serve. Prospective students can start by reviewing the current term schedule for their nearest location, then attending classes to begin learning and (if desired) working toward graduation. The school also invites questions through its published contact information for those exploring whether MTSOP is a good fit for their goals in Bible study and service.

Midwest Ministry Training — Organization Profile
Midwest Ministry Training is a church-based training program for future ministers that launched in August 2024. The organization says it exists to train preaching ministers and associate ministers for the local church through a trade school/apprenticeship approach to ministry training rather than a traditional four-year degree path. Based in Vandalia, Missouri, Midwest is organized around churches working together to provide both classroom instruction and hands-on mentoring for students preparing for church ministry.
Its core focus is helping aspiring ministers gain both biblical and practical preparation for local church service. Midwest offers Certificates of Endorsement in Preaching Ministry, Associate Ministry, and Bible Knowledge. For the preaching and associate tracks, the site describes a 20-course sequence that covers subjects such as Bible interpretation, theology, church history, apologetics, preaching, and ministry in the local church. The Bible Knowledge certificate is a shorter option built around five courses. The academic side is presented as rigorous, with lectures, reading, assignments, papers, discussion, and tests.
A distinctive part of the model is its 1,500-hour apprenticeship requirement for students in the preaching and associate ministry tracks. Midwest emphasizes that this is an apprenticeship, not just an internship. Students train under one or more approved ministers in one or more congregations, learning practical ministry skills such as sermon and lesson preparation, baptisms, funerals, weddings, hospital visitation, pastoral care, administration, and working with church teams. The organization also allows students to complete apprenticeship work in more than one church setting so they can experience ministry in multiple contexts.
Midwest serves people exploring ministry and local churches that want to help develop leaders. Its training network has included churches in Missouri, Illinois, and California, and the organization presents itself as a collaborative effort among training churches, supporting churches, teachers, mentors, and administrators. That structure is central to its identity: rather than placing the full burden on one school or one congregation, Midwest distributes the work of minister preparation across multiple churches and leaders.
The website also highlights the importance of doctrinal alignment and character formation. Midwest publishes a statement of faith and says its teachers, mentors, and administrators must affirm and defend those doctrines. Students seeking endorsement in preaching or associate ministry are also expected to demonstrate adherence to that statement of faith. In addition to coursework and apprenticeship hours, candidates must pass a formal examination before receiving a certificate of endorsement.
People can engage with Midwest Ministry Training in several ways. Prospective students can apply for one of the certificate tracks, churches can participate as training or supporting churches, and supporters can use the organization’s payment portal to contribute financially. Those who want more information can contact the ministry directly through its public email, phone number, and mailing address, or follow its official YouTube channel for updates and teaching content.

The Nashville School of Preaching and Biblical Studies (often abbreviated NSP) is a non-accredited Bible training program operated under the oversight of the elders of the Crieve Hall Church of Christ. The school exists to equip Christians for ministry by providing Bible and Bible-related instruction that trains Bible teachers and gospel preachers to work with churches of Christ, while welcoming any student committed to learning and doing God’s will.
NSP is based in Nashville, Tennessee, meeting at the Crieve Hall Church of Christ campus on Trousdale Drive. Its student body includes adults with varied backgrounds—ranging from full-time ministers and Bible teachers to families and church members who want deeper understanding of Scripture. The school’s format is intentionally accessible for working adults, with structured classes offered in an organized “school situation” and an emphasis on consistent study habits.
Instruction is delivered through term-based evening schedules. During Fall and Spring terms, NSP meets three nights each week—Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday—for thirteen weeks, with 50-minute class periods beginning at 6:00, 7:40, and 8:40 p.m. The Summer term runs for eight weeks and meets on Tuesday evenings, and the school also offers opportunities to participate via ZOOM-based learning (including short courses offered during Summer terms in recent years).
NSP offers two primary certificate tracks: a Preaching Certificate and a Biblical Studies Certificate. The school notes that men may complete either course of study, while women may complete the Biblical Studies Certificate track. For students pursuing completion, 36 credits are required for graduation, and each course typically counts as one credit. At the same time, students can attend classes for learning without necessarily aiming for graduation, building a schedule that fits their needs and stage of life.
A key distinctive of NSP is that there are no fees from registration through graduation (though students may need to purchase textbooks for certain classes). In addition to classroom instruction, students benefit from onsite resources, including a substantial library collection made available to support serious Bible study. Those who want to engage can review the current term schedule, pre-register as directed for individual classes, and participate in person or online as the term offerings allow.
