Mission Statement of the +PRCBS

• At the +PRCBS, we strive to promote the development of scholarly and professional excellence, providing opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, while cultivating personal responsibility and interpersonal effectiveness.

• Jesus Christ drives and supports our personal commitment to excellence, the sharing of the Gospel, and commitment to creating disciples who are active ministers of God’s Word, and scholars "for the love of learning."

• The +Peter Riola Center for Biblical Studies (+PRCBS) serves as a biblical learning center available to all individuals "for the love of learning" modeled after its founder, Bishop Peter Riola, who founded the SAHS in 1992, over 32 years ago.

“For the Love of Learning”

The online program is a free, non-denominational self-study experience. Working online allows the student to work independently and grow as a person, professional, and most importantly as a minister of God's Word. Students from every nation and denomination are welcome to study and conduct their research online using the tools available at the PRCRS. These online courses are structured to the particular needs of the student and their ministry. There are no tuition fees for these programs. Offering these online programs is an ongoing part of our outreach ministry.
