Our curriculum is meticulously crafted to shed light on the profound truths of theology, encouraging students to question, reflect, and discover. By illuminating minds, we aim to foster an environment of intellectual growth, guiding our students to become enlightened scholars and thinkers in the realm of faith.

Faith is the cornerstone of our institution. Our programs are designed to strengthen the spiritual bond. We aim to provide our students with the tools and insights they need to cultivate a faith that is both profound and enduring. One way we do this is through our partnership with Logos Bible Study App. Students receive digital copies of their course textbooks on a powerful bible study platform to enrich their learning and enable them to dig deeper into scripture.

At NCT, we recognize the ripple effect that empowered and informed believers can have on their communities. Our programs are designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to serve as leaders, advocates, and agents of positive change. By fostering a culture of service, empathy, and collaboration, we aim to elevate communities, making them more united, resilient, and spiritually enriched.

Lessons were very well organized and you knew what to expect. It gave you a chance to really get back into a studying mood, as I have been out of touch as a student. The instructor was available for questions through a call, text, or email.

Resources are subject to change, at the direction of the Executive Board of Directors, and not all subjects are offered every year. 

Statement of Standards

All students are required to give a testimony of having accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Each student is expected to conduct himself/herself in a manner that will, at no time, bring reproach upon our Savior or upon NCT. 

All students must be a working part of a local church. Time spent in participation within the local church will be logged and turned in to Northeastern College of Theology. These hours are figured into the student's semester credit hours as personal ministry. God's Word demands that we be doers of the Word and not hears (or students) only.

What technology will I need for this online live program?

You will need a stable internet connection and a device like a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The specific software (like Zoom, Teams, etc.) will be determined by the school administration.

What if I miss a live class? Will there be a recording available?

All classes will be recorded, however, due to the accelerated pace of our programs, you will only be permitted with one excused absence for the academic year.
