General Information
Reinventing Theological Education
B. H. Carroll Theological Institute is reinventing theological education in innovative, creative ways that make ministerial training more relevant, practical, effective, as well as affordable and accessible to all Christian workers. Using a nexus of scholars, teaching churches, and learning centers, Carroll Institute mobilizes the Body of Christ to minister and serve an increasingly lost and needy world. With a focus on the Great Commission, this approach commits a minimum of resources to buildings and a maximum of resources to intellectual capital and learning technologies. It operates from a center in Arlington, Texas where professors (Senior Fellows) with a depth and breadth of experience in theological disciplines plan curricula. They also teach and coordinate the work of academically qualified scholars (Resident Fellows) in Teaching Churches across the nation and ultimately around the world. Carroll Institute uses a broad range of media to connect with the churches and provide theological education that is biblically based and practically oriented.
Mission Statement
B. H. Carroll Theological Institute is a graduate-level community of faith and learning that equips men and women called to serve Christ in the diverse and global ministries of His church.
Vision Statement
Through an integrated network of Fellows, Teaching Churches, and Learning Centers, the Institute seeks to mobilize the priesthood of believers for service in society. It provides, through appropriate media, theological education that is both biblically based and praxis oriented. The Institute develops Christ-centered leaders who are committed to academic excellence, life-long learning, and transformational ministry. The Institute works collegially with other evangelical Christians. Its confessional basis is the consensus of opinion concerning those articles of the Christian faith and practice that have been most surely held and expressed in historic Baptist principles and practices.
Core Values
- Christ-centered, Spirit-led character
- Bible-based, world-engaged curriculum
- Historic Baptist identity and principles
- Intellectual energy interacting with effective praxis
- Vulnerable, responsive, and relevant to a changing world
- Accessible and affordable to all believers
- Collegial, collaborative, and encouraging environment
- Diverse and inclusive community with a global impact
- Linked with and mutually accountable to the churches
- Individual attention to and respect for students
- Synergistic dialogue between Senior Fellows and field-based Resident Fellows

Learning Clusters
The curriculum design for the Institute is built around the organizing principle of four Learning Clusters. These clusters are natural convergences of the functional roles in ministry. Each cluster develops a set of skills and synthesizes learning for ministers to use in planning and exercising the responsibilities related to the calling and mission of the church. The four clusters collectively form a continuum of practical learning built upon the academic subjects, which are arranged as follows:
Scripture and Witness (SW)
Biblical Languages - SWBLA
Biblical Literature - SWBLI
Biblical Interpretation - SWBIT
Biblical Preaching - SWBPR
Faith and Heritage (FH)
Theology - FHTHE
Church History - FHCHS
Ethics - FHETH
Philosophy - FHPHI
Ministry and Formation (MF)
Pastoral Ministry - MFPMN
Leadership - MFLDS
Foundations of Education - MFFND
Administration - MFADM
Worship and Mission (WM)
Worship - WMWOR
Evangelism - WMEVA
Missions - WMMIS
Church Music - WMCMU
Competencies
The curriculum is competency based with learning outcomes designed to integrate the Christian knowledge/understandings, skills, and values/attitudes needed for effective ministry. The learning experiences and programs of study relate to the following core competencies in the four Learning Clusters. Objectives and learning outcomes of all courses taught at Carroll Institute are based on the following set of competencies:
Scripture and Witness: Reliance upon the Scripture as the Word of God and the indispensable role of biblical truth for faith and ministry; communication of the message of the Bible centered in the proclaimed gospel, addressed in relevant terms to contemporary culture, and reflected in the tasks of preaching, teaching, and witness that lead to such competencies as:
- To engage reading strategies in the use of Scripture that enhance personal growth, critical awareness, and lifelong learning
- To appropriate the historic witness of the Scripture in its ancient setting by adequate study of the literature, history, and culture of the Bible
- To access the Hebrew and Greek texts of the Scripture using linguistic skills to prepare biblical sermons and to teach biblical content
- To expound the meaning of biblical texts using proper methods and principles of exegesis informed by historic Christian practice and responsive to current needs
- To interpret diverse portions of the biblical canon in terms of the whole of Scripture, seeking unity between the two testaments, so that the Bible may function properly in theological reflection and worship by the church
- To construct and deliver sermons that are biblical and homiletically sound, setting a program of self-critique for improvement and interchange with those who hear
- To communicate biblical truth through preaching, teaching, writing, and personal witness, or through music, worship, and other appropriate modes
Faith and Heritage: The historic formulations and confessions of the Christian faith; the impact of philosophical and ethical traditions and Christian truth on the history of Christianity; and the distinctive role of Baptists in shaping faith and practice that lead to such competencies as:
- To develop a working knowledge of the major historical periods, movements, persons, and issues, as well as the political, social, and religious, influences in the development of Christianity and Baptist history that provide a basis for the beliefs and practices of the church in relation to the world
- To deal critically with historical evidence, sequence, generalization, and analogy with regard to the history of Christianity and Baptists, and to communicate insight from historical explanation in relating the past to the present
- To communicate the confessional development of Christianity and Baptist heritage in the context of theology, philosophy, history, and in conversation with the current human experience
- To model a working theology in one's ministry that reflects an awareness of Christian doctrine in light of its biblical, confessional, philosophical, and historical development. To lead the whole church toward a working theology that gives attention to content, methodology, and process by which Christian theology continues to be formulated and developed within the life of the congregation
- To demonstrate how understanding of Scripture, history, philosophy, and theological foundations of Christian ethics informs the construction of one's own beliefs and convictions, and how it expresses itself in action
- To develop within the church an awareness of how understanding of Scripture, theology, philosophy, history, and principles of Christian ethics lead to development of values, moral perspectives, ethical behavior, and sound decision making
- To develop a personal worldview relevant to Christian ministry taking into consideration other contemporary worldviews, philosophical issues, major religions, religious sects, culture, and science
- To lead a congregation to develop an adequate defense of the Christian faith against arguments from non-Christian belief systems
Ministry and Formation: Essential ministries of character and leadership that nurture faith in Christ, build and develop churches, meet human needs at every level, and transform situations to God's purposes; principles, methods, and resources that equip teachers and leaders for the development of educational programs in congregations and denominations that lead to such competencies as:
- To train and develop church leaders in the proper interpretation of the Bible and application of its truth within the life and ministry of the church
- To model effective leadership skills and appropriate relationships with the staff, church members and other members of the community, and to develop these skills in other church leaders by helping them to be motivated, communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and develop ongoing leadership improvement plans
- To demonstrate pastoral care that is both skilled and relational and serves the ministry needs of church members and other members of the community in administering and conducting the ordinances, hospital visits, various counseling opportunities, weddings, and funerals
- To function as curriculum coordinator of the church, assisting in the adoption of a philosophy of teaching and training that reflects an understanding of the functions of the church integrated with a curriculum plan that identifies ministry needs, and effects specific strategies for reaching learning goals
- To lead the church to adopt a working model for calling out, training, equipping, and developing church leaders in the areas of teaching skills and age-appropriate methods for the church's educational programs
- To reflect and develop a biblical view of Christian stewardship within the church and to give leadership to budgeting and responsible operation and control of finances
Worship and Mission: Practice and forms of public and private worship, music in the Christian experience, the church's mission in a global context, and the formative disciplines of Christian character and devotion that lead to such competencies as:
- To plan and lead worship services that are built on biblical principles and patterns, that are shaped by essential Christian doctrines, and that exhibit sound principles of design and function.
- To teach others the biblical, theological, historical, and cultural dimensions of worship and the implications of these for planning, leading, and experiencing worship
- To lead the church to understand the various elements of worship and appreciate diverse styles and expressions of worship
- To model awe and love for God and educate the congregation in personal, family, and corporate worship
- To model openness to the broad spectrum of worship experiences in history and in various cultural contexts, and lead a congregation to explore ways these may be used in planning and leading worship
- To teach the biblical and theological foundations for evangelism and missions and the various ways the church has grown and spread
- To communicate biblical truth through personal witness, preaching, teaching, music, and other appropriate means
- To lead the congregation to have a passion for sharing the Gospel of Christ.
- To lead the congregation to have respect for persons of diverse cultures and backgrounds, and demonstrate sacrificial love for people
Philosophy
B. H. Carroll Theological Institute differs from other theological institutions in the scope of its philosophy of education, its approach to resources, and its relationship with churches and other educational institutions. Carroll Institute does not accept certain implicit but persistent assumptions about ministerial training. Theological education does not have to be highly competitive. By enlarging incentives and opportunities for learning, the entire student base is expanded to such a degree that other institutions will benefit as well.
The cost of theological education does not have to escalate perpetually. The expanding student base and revenue from ancillary activities enable Carroll Institute to lower costs of tuition for students.
Theological education does not have to be restricted by institutional location. Instead of building a large central campus, Carroll Institute distributes learning and makes it accessible at the grass roots level through a nexus of Teaching Churches. Although Carroll Institute uses innovative technologies and many of its classes are connected electronically, it is not primarily a "distance-learning" or "online" seminary. Rather, it is essentially a network of Teaching Churches where scholars meet face-to-face in learning clusters. In many instances new technology expedites the accomplishment of the goal to make theological education more accessible and affordable, and global electronic technology enables the Institute to access first-rate resources and world-class scholars. However, the primary goal is to provide a congregational-based laboratory that makes theological education more relevant and effective. Professors throughout the network of Teaching Churches conduct local classes at set times within small groups of students. Emphasis is placed on academic excellence, practical training, and personal contact with qualified mentors in peer learning clusters.
Current theological education often fails to integrate praxis with academics in a meaningful way. In fact, there are marked indicators that the trend is to move away from this integration, thus emphasizing classical over practical studies and giving students only token training in the churches. Recognizing that the best theological education does not exclude practical application from academic excellence, Carroll Institute reestablishes the vital relationship with the local church and uses it as a laboratory for ministerial training. It uses a broad range of media to reconnect with churches to provide theological education and real-world assistance that is biblically based, academically sound, and practically oriented.
Carroll Institute synergizes the resources of innovative technology, a pool of mentor-scholars, the facilities and human resources of churches, a "cutting-edge" generation of students, assessment tools and ministerial programs, and creative use of financial resources. Our philosophy not only harnesses ingredients essential for effective and efficient theological education, it also pioneers a twenty-first century seminary that will mobilize, train, and unleash an incredibly large and potent army of servants for God's kingdom.
Accreditation
Carroll Institute has initiated procedural steps with those boards and associations that certify and accredit schools of higher education: the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the Association of Theological Schools (ATS), and the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).
Having met the standards of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Institute was granted a Certificate of Authority, effective January 2007, to award the following degrees,
- Master of Divinity degree with major in Christian Ministry
- Master of Music degree with major in Christian Ministry
- Master of Arts degree with majors in Theology, Education, and Music.
- Doctor of Philosophy degree
- Doctor of Ministry degree*
Carroll Institute has applied for accreditation with SACS. Since most of our degrees require two or more years to complete, we intend to offer degrees about the time students complete their courses of study. Therefore, we hope to offer accredited degrees upon completion of the self-study, site-visit, and approval by the accrediting agencies.
The leaders of the Carroll Theological Institute have over 300 years of combined experience in graduate theological education. That experience includes multiple self-studies and accrediting processes along with proficiency in graduate-level teaching, curriculum design, and competency-based education. From the beginning the Institute has demanded high standards of academic work that will meet or exceed all criteria necessary for accreditation. Because peer evaluation and accreditation are essential and valuable to the effective training of ministers, the quality of the faculty, the effectiveness of the curriculum, and the competencies of the graduates must be validated through accreditation by SACS, ATS, and NASM. Therefore, academic excellence, effectiveness in ministry, and building the kingdom of God will be ultimate goals for every student.
What does accreditation mean and what is the advantage for a student? Accreditation makes the transition easier as students move from one accredited school to another. The regional nature of accreditation allows a receiving school in the same or another state to assess the quality of a sending school and accept the incoming student's credits and academic record. This ease of transfer applies across the nation through reciprocal agreements between the regional accrediting agencies.
An individual school may also evaluate unaccredited course work and transfer such credits into a degree plan. Carroll Institute evaluates all transcripts submitted to determine if a student's previous course work from another institution will be acceptable for transfer.

Heritage and Identity
Identity
B. H. Carroll Theological Institute is a free-standing community of Christian scholars with multiple sources of funding and a self-perpetuating board of governors. It is distinctively Baptist. It affirms those articles of Christian faith and practice which have been surely held and expressed in historic Baptist principles and practices. It operates in cooperation primarily with, but not limited to, Baptist churches. It also cooperates with other Great Commission Christians who are on the cutting edge of ministry.
B. H. Carroll
 B.H. Carroll (1843-1914) was a giant among Baptist leaders. While pastor of First Baptist Church of Waco for almost thirty years, he strengthened the Baptist witness and profoundly influenced the social life and political structures across Texas and the South. He became a legendary expositor. He was involved at every level of Baptist life. Other denominational leaders consulted with him on all important decisions. Yet, Carroll's most enduring legacy was in theological education. In his pastoral study, he tutored Baylor ministerial students and developed theological courses that were put into the university curriculum. Carroll chaired the Baylor board of trustees, served on its faculty, and was Dean of the Bible Department. He led the trustees to start Baylor Theological Seminary (1905) and later convinced the BGCT to separate it as a free-standing institution (1907). In 1908 he chartered it as Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Altogether, Carroll taught for forty-three years. By publishing his curriculum in the Baptist Standard, he extended his influence across the South. He did more to form the theology and shape the ideals of preachers than any other person of his generation. George W. Truett said this was Carroll's crowning work and his real passion: "No other task in all his life seemed so completely to enthrall his thoughts and energies as the task of Ministerial Education...this man, in season, out of season, pleaded forever for the better education of God's preachers."
Legacy
Carroll emphasized two dimensions of theological education as equally important: academic excellence and practical application. He challenged students to develop keen intellects, but he also showed them how to apply knowledge in meaningful ways. His desire was for leaders in the churches to be equipped with all the tools for ministry and to know how to use them effectively. Carroll's vision was to make this theological education accessible and affordable to all Christian leaders - to every worker and teacher in the church, in addition to those persons called to full-time vocational ministry. In 1905, he put it this way:
If we ever intend to make the Texas Baptists the greatest spiritual force in the world and to be potential in shaping the destiny of our state and nation, we must provide at home for the right and adequate training of a great host of spiritual leaders. Not to do it is a sin. We may not devolve this responsibility on others, nor can we safely postpone the work.
Carroll Institute perpetuates and extends this legacy. We will provide accredited theological education that is academically excellent and practically applicable in a way that it is accessible and affordable to every Christian leader. This is a vocational school: we will train professional ministers. Yet, in a fuller sense, this is a theological institution: we will "institute," or invest persons with a spiritual charge. That charge is not limited to full-time ministers but will be shared with all Christian leaders called to prepare for ministry.
Carroll Institute is non-traditional and innovative, but it will sustain the DNA of Carroll's legacy, as defined by L. R. Scarborough: it will be denominationally anchored as a distinctively Baptist institution responsible to Baptist churches; it will teach the Word of God; and it will magnify both scholarship and spiritual life. We will use creative approaches to theological education and its delivery. At the same time, we are reviving a heritage and perpetuating a legacy for those who remain loyal - loyal to historic Baptist principles - loyal to our Lord, His Word, and His commission - loyal to our and future generations. We hope that by providing a common ground for those who remain loyal, this new seminary also might help to bring healing to a wounded denomination.

Standards of Conduct
As a community of Christian leaders, Carroll Institute seeks to maintain high standards of integrity in all areas of life, including academic work, ministry, and community relationships. Given these objectives, students are expected to maintain appropriate personal standards and use wise judgment in matters pertaining to personal conduct. Any set of community conduct standards may contain elements with which some of its members disagree. Nevertheless, out of a desire to encourage an environment appropriate to its purposes, respect for its heritage, and concern for the values of its constituency, B. H. Carroll Theological Institute has established the following behavioral guidelines for all students.
Practices that are not in keeping with Scriptural teachings and wholesome Christian lifestyle, such as dishonesty, theft, sexual misconduct and harassment, use of pornography, profanity, racism, and infringement on the rights of others are considered serious violations of the standards of conduct and will not be condoned.
In a Christian academic community, academic dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, and misappropriation of library materials, is regarded as a serious violation of standards of conduct.
Abuse of one's body is inappropriate for any Christian. Students will refrain from the possession or use of harmful substances, intoxicants, and all illegal drugs.
Christians are expected to show respect for governmental authority. Students are therefore expected to uphold the laws of the local community, the state, and the nation.
Students are expected to refrain from all practices that are questionable and encourage exposure to demeaning social relationships.
Carroll Institute values a community environment that is free from all forms of discrimination and harassment. Therefore, discrimination and harassment of any type will not be tolerated by the institution. Those found in violation will be subject to disciplinary action.
In order to facilitate orderly community life, students are expected to abide by other procedural rules and regulations as announced.

Withdrawal Policy
Students who withdraw from a class during the first 4 weeks will receive a (W) withdrawal. Students who withdraw after 4 weeks will receive a failing grade (F). A student who considers withdrawing after the 4th week will be given the option of taking an incomplete grade (I) and will be allowed up to an additional 4 weeks beyond the end of the term to complete the course. (See Incomplete Policy below)
Incomplete Policy
A grade of "I" indicates that the work required for the course was not completed. It is given only when special extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control (such as illness, death of a family member, etc.) prevent the student from completing the work or taking the exam. A request for an extension must be submitted to the Fellow teaching the course prior to the due date of the work concerned. To obtain an acceptable grade in the course, the student must complete all requirements specified by the Fellow, and will have up to an additional four weeks beyond the end of the term to complete the course. An "I" grade must be removed within the extension time granted; otherwise it will be changed to an "F". Under very unusual circumstances, a Teaching Fellow may extend an "I" for a maximum of two terms. After that, any grade changes must be handled as a petition to the Council of Senior Fellows.

Registration for classes will be possible only after admission has been granted.
Registration for a course will begin four weeks and close one day prior to start of classes. Students will register for courses online. Prior to the beginning of class, all course requirements and textbook lists will be available online.
Regular courses of study at Carroll Institute are conducted in four, eight-week terms (Alpha Term, Emmanuel Term, Paschal Term, and Omega Term). Because of the intense nature of the terms, one would only expect within a single term to complete half the number of courses normally completed in a semester. For example, students who normally take four courses in a semester should divide this load between two terms and take two courses each term.
