Our Purpose
The purpose of BTS is to prepare students to fulfill the great commission
by equipping them to reproduce the next generation to fulfill the
Great Commission in Alabama, North America and around the world.
Our Position
BTS adheres to the following statement of faith:
God is one Being existing in three persons: the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. God is Sovereign; the Creator and the Sustainer
of all things. God is the Source of and end of all truth.
The Scriptures are the written Word of God; inerrant in their original
writings, and the infallible authority by which He directs and governs
all our activities.
Jesus Christ is the eternal begotten Son of God, conceived by the
Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary – Truly God – Truly
Man. Through Christ’s life, death, resurrection and ascension,
He accomplished a decisive victory over sin for His people and established
His kingdom among men.
Man was created in the image of God as a rational, moral and spiritual
being. Man sinned in Adam and fell with him in his first transgression.
Man’s fall affected him spiritually, intellectually and physically.
He is restored only by the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit and
the cleansing blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord will return in glory and triumph for the final judgment
and the consummation of His Kingdom.
