WCU partners with NW Caribbean Baptist Theological Seminary

  • Biblical Studies, Christian Ministries

William Carey University signed an articulation agreement Feb. 8 with Northwestern Caribbean Baptist Theological Seminary (NCBTS) on Grand Cayman.

“We are pleased to respond to the invitation from NCBTS to help strengthen educational opportunities to students in the region,” said Dr. Garry Breland, WCU’s provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

Beginning this fall, William Carey will provide a 12-course certificate program to support the educational needs of NCBTS students.

Through the agreement, WCU will accept in transfer six courses taught by approved NCBTS faculty members. Seminary students will take the remaining six courses online from William Carey instructors. Students who successfully complete the 36-credit-hour program will be awarded a Certificate of Christian Ministry.

Northwestern Caribbean Baptist Theological Seminary was founded in 2018.

“We’re still in our start-up phase. We have about 30 students in the Cayman Islands and Caribbean, where there are hundreds of Baptist churches. This Carey connection will help us move up to the next level and better prepare our students to serve those churches,” said Dr. Randall Von Kanel, president of NCBTS.

Dr. Brett Golson is dean of WCU’s Cooper School of Missions and Ministry Studies and vice president for Spiritual Development and Church Relations.

“The credits NCBTS students earn can be applied to a bachelor’s degree in ministry-related majors at William Carey University, if they wish to continue their studies. By the same token, WCU Christian ministry students can choose to complete their internships in the Cayman Islands, working with NCBTS faculty and affiliated churches,” Golson said.

Von Kanel is a WCU alumnus, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in church music in the 1970s.
