Are You Hungry to Go Deeper, and to Grow in Your Faith and Understanding of God?
As a passionate Christian, you are called into a whole, intimate relationship with God. Whether you're a new believer, or have been serving God for years, you've laid down your life to love and serve him wherever you have influence... in your workplace, your family, or perhaps as a volunteer in your church. Your heart burns to see other people come to know him, and develop a relationship with God for themselves.
But despite all this, do you ever feel as if you're only scratching the surface when it comes to understanding the mysteries of God's word, and what they mean for your life?
Do You Struggle to Read, Interpret and Apply the Word of God in Your Life?
So many passionate, committed Christians find reading and understanding Biblical theology incredibly challenging. Unless you're willing to put your life on hold for an expensive and time-consuming degree, finding answers to your biblical questions and going deeper can feel overwhelming.
Have you found yourself experiencing ANY of the following in your pursuit of truth?
- Are you longing for a greater understanding of Scripture and how the biblical narrative fits together into a harmonious whole? But you don't know where to turn to for answers that are simple to understand and based in truth...
- Do you wish you had more Bible verses and answers on-hand when friends and family ask you about your faith? But you're afraid of taking the bible out of context and giving them the wrong answers...
- Are you unsatisfied with a superficial understanding of the Bible, and a shallow relationship with God? But no reading plan, sermon, or theological book has given you the growth and revelation that you're looking for...
- Do you wish you could better discern what God has to say in His Scriptures, and the implications of the Gospel in your own life? But finding purpose and meaning in the Bible always feels difficult and far-fetched...
- Have you considered studying theology to deepen your faith and Biblical knowledge? But you've only been able to find intensive degrees that force you to put your life on hold for study...
- Do you struggle to understand and process the current world events and what God's perspective is towards them? But you don't know how to build up a biblical worldview with so many opinions online...
If you've answered "YES" to any of the questions above, or you're simply just looking to grow in your understanding of the Bible, you're in the right place...
You Deserve to Have Access to Strong, Bible-Based Teaching That Nourishes Your Soul and Spirit...
Without having to sacrifice your family, quit your day job, or invest tens of thousands on a degree! Sadly though, this type of teaching has never been more difficult to find for lay Christians. Many churches have stopped emphasizing theology in their teaching, and opted for more practical, topical messages instead...
And as a result? We're facing spiritual immaturity and biblical illiteracy like we've never seen before around our nation! At Veritas School of Biblical Ministry, we're on a mission to raise up a new generation of everyday believers who can flip this narrative, and stop this epidemic in its tracks...
Hi, I'm Bill Giovannetti,
Founder of Veritas School of Biblical Ministry...
Founder of Veritas School of Biblical Ministry...
And I understand that feeling of dissatisfaction in your faith all too well. For years, I was the poster child for a faithful servant of Christ...
- I was serving non-stop at Youth Group, on worship teams, in prayer meetings, and during Sunday services to try and find meaning
- I was reading every trending Christian book to search for answers and truth
- I was listening intently to sermons and podcasts to find revelation
- I was praying for understanding and a biblical perspective on the world around me
- I was diligently attending and leading Bible studies, trying to piece together my knowledge of Scriptures
On the outside, I was checking all the boxes. But on the inside, I was feeling beyond confused, and struggling to find the answers I needed. If my experience sounds familiar to you too, you're not alone. And there is good news...
Dr. Bill Giovannetti
Pastor | Professor | Author
There is More to Your Christian Walk Than This, and it is Possible to Move Past the Surface-Level, and Find True Understanding in Your Faith
The truth is, so many Christians are taught how to serve God, but not how to know God. They study Christian service, but not Christ himself. In my own walk, I was trapped in a web of exhausting duties and religious obligations... When in reality, I needed teaching that was less about my behavior, and more about God's nature.
So I embarked on a new path... I enrolled in seminary, put my life on pause for 3 intensive years of study, and invested tens of thousands of dollars to gain a theological basis for my faith. I've since used that knowledge on a daily basis, and spent 25+ years instilling it to thousands of people in churches and universities in America.
But what I've come to realize is that this understanding of the Bible is essential for all Christians! Yet up until now, it has been near-impossible to access in a systematic and organize way–unless you have the time, money, and freedom to invest thousands of dollars at a graduate-level.
Why Should the Deepest Wonders of God's Love be Reserved for Scholars, Professional Clergy, and Pastors?
At Veritas School of Biblical Ministry, we believe that God gave all His truth, to all His people. We're on a mission to bring the church back to the Bible, and the Bible back to the church.
We've combined decades of pastoral experience in large churches, with over 25 years teaching theology in Christian colleges and seminaries... And as a result, we've developed a powerful ministry training program. We're helping everyday believers like yourself gain a theological understanding of the Bible and their faith!
Finally, you can access an online seminary for everyday people... without a bachelor's degree, without quitting your day job, and without a $40K+ investment.
With a Newfound Theological Understanding of Scripture, You Can...
