Look at the VBTS tuition and fees
Colonial Baptist Church (CBC) has served as the gracious host of VBTS since its inception in 1995 and provides an appropriate context for ministerial training. The interactive relationship between VBTS and CBC enables students to observe the practical application of sound theology and a biblically informed philosophy of ministry. VBTS students who attend CBC will also benefit from being part of a thriving community that is fully supportive of their pursuits in ministry preparation.
CBC's philosophy of ministry can be seen in their local church essentials listed below. Click here to explore the CBC website.

Other Church Communities
While CBC has closely partnered with VBTS to disciple, support, and minister alongside many of our students over the years, VBTS students may attend and are encouraged to actively participate in any Gospel-preaching church in the area (or in their local city, if they are online students). Over 20 area churches are currently represented among VBTS students and alumni. Area churches regularly contact the seminary with ministry opportunities.
