Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Governance
The Foundational Year is where students will gain foundational values, knowledge, skills and impartation that will help equip, shape, mold and expand students to become active participants in God’s work as it relates to their calling.
The River School of Government was established to raise-up men and women, full of the Holy Ghost, who will govern according to solid Godly principles and who will faithfully defend the individual rights and freedoms that are guaranteed by both the Constitution and God’s Word.
Its goal is not to produce career politicians, who will abuse their position for personal gain or for personal power, but to inspire tomorrow’s leaders to honor and stand up for the integrity of both the Constitution and God’s Word and bring America back to her founding principles.
In the third year, in conjunction with offered courses, students will receive hands-on training from all department heads at The River at Tampa Bay Church to obtain working knowledge of day-to-day operations in a church and ministry setting.
