FAQ
Jerry Savelle Bible School (JSBS) is intentionally non-accredited because our mission is to equip believers for ministry and spiritual growth—not to provide a traditional academic degree.
Our focus is on helping students build a strong biblical foundation, deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, strengthen their faith and leadership, and prepare to fulfill God's calling on their lives. Whether you're pursuing ordination, seeking greater biblical understanding, or desiring practical ministry training, JSBS is designed to equip you for lasting impact.
Because our emphasis is on life transformation through the Word of God, our curriculum is centered on practical biblical instruction that prepares students to live by faith, lead with confidence, and serve others effectively. Our fully online program allows students around the world to complete their ministry training in just two years without relocating or putting their lives on hold.
While JSBS does not grant accredited academic degrees, some students have successfully received transfer credit at Christian and secular colleges after submitting their completed coursework. Since each institution establishes its own transfer policies, acceptance of credit cannot be guaranteed.
