Central's core mission is to train and prepare leaders for the church today. Unfortunately the preparation for this calling is expensive. It takes the support and generosity of many to make our mission possible. All students at Central receive significant scholarship support. Central can make this available because of friends who believe in the mission and purpose of Central.
"I know that the financial assistance provided by CBTS has helped me tremendously with my education. I do not know how I would have been able to attend seminary without it."
