North Carolina School of Biblical Studies — Organization Profile
North Carolina School of Biblical Studies (NCSBS) is a non-profit preacher-training program overseen by the elders of the Warners Chapel church of Christ. The school’s stated model combines two years of biblical education with a two-year associate minister internship, aiming to help men develop the knowledge and skills needed for evangelistic preaching and congregational service.
NCSBS is based in Clemmons, North Carolina, in the annex building of the Warners Chapel Church of Christ. The student handbook notes that the work is intended to strengthen brethren in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and throughout the world, reflecting both a regional emphasis and a broader vision for preparing workers who may serve wherever opportunities arise.
Academically, the school emphasizes courses “directly related to the work of the preacher and his family,” including biblical text study, apologetics, and homiletics. Course descriptions also describe a second educational focus: leadership studies for men who are or hope to become effective leaders (such as elders or deacons) in local congregations. This makes NCSBS relevant not only for full-time preaching goals, but also for men seeking grounded preparation for teaching and leadership.
NCSBS offers both on-campus and online learning. According to the school’s history and handbook, online classes began in Fall 2020, and on-campus classes began in August 2021. The website posts quarterly schedules and registrations, and also notes a regular chapel gathering on weekday mornings. As students progress, the internship phase is intended to provide supervised, hands-on experience in an associate minister role alongside a congregation and an experienced preacher.
Financially, NCSBS presents itself as accessible while still requiring students to provide key study tools. The school states there is no charge for tuition, with Warners Chapel bearing the majority of operational costs. Students are expected to have a usable laptop, obtain a NET Bible with full translators’ notes, and pay a $200 per quarter textbook charge as outlined in the enrollment information.
Those interested in engaging with NCSBS can start by reviewing the student handbook, current class schedule, and enrollment steps, then contacting the director to discuss admissions and start dates. Congregations and individuals who want to support the work can pray for students and instructors, encourage qualified men to pursue training, and help strengthen the ministry that provides structured instruction and internship opportunities under local-church oversight.
