Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute (ATS&BI) subscribes to a non-traditional form of study programs, following a non-traditional plan in comparison to the general method utilized for study of general subject matter.
Anchor Theological Seminary & Bible Institute (www.anchorseminary.org) operates under the authority of Worldwide Outreach for Christ, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit Religious Corporation which is authorized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501-C-3 tax exempt, non-profit religious corporation.
ATS&BI is incorporated and chartered by the State of Arkansas as a not-for-profit religious institution. We have the privilege of granting degrees and certificates of merit to those who have completed our courses of study.
Since the activities of Anchor are entirely religious instruction in nature, it has been ruled by the Texas Supreme Court that Bible schools, Bible institutes, and Christian seminaries are outside the purview of the Texas Higher Education Board. Anchor is recognized as a religious school by the Texas Higher Education Board and Texas Workforce Commission.
ATS&BI was created for the sole purpose for teaching the Bible through independent study and training Christian men and women to serve the Lord through local churches.

It is our mission to provide Bible study programs feasible for a conscientious student to utilize in seriously reading, studying, and understanding the Scriptures, the word of God. Believing and trusting the one true God of Holy Scripture, we know there will be a Godly change and development in the life of the person who studies the Bible to meet God, the Father, God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. The school commits itself to offer a disciplined program of study and application so that the student, under Holy God and by way of their personal priesthood as a believer, can learn and be renewed by His very mind. The school is dedicated to preserve and perpetuate the historical doctrines of that group of believers who have existed since the time of Jesus Christ and are now called "Baptists."
COURSES OF STUDY:
There are two primary divisions of Anchor Theological Seminary and Bible Institute – the Bible Institute division and the Seminary division. The Seminary division has three levels, undergraduate level, graduate level, and a postgraduate level.
