Bachelor of Practical Ministry & Applied Theology
The Bachelor of Theology program offered by From the Seed to the Fruit (FS2F) is a religious educational program, provided by a Christian confessional institution and designed for the theological, ministerial, and educational formation of Christian leaders. The program is developed in accordance with the principles of religious education and the autonomy granted to religious institutions, as provided under the applicable Religious Exemption legislation in the State of Florida.
The program features a defined curricular structure, clear educational objectives, academic progression consistent with the bachelor’s level, and formal assessment and completion requirements. The curriculum covers foundational areas of theological education, including Biblical Studies, Systematic Theology, Church History, Christian Ethics, Leadership, and Ministerial Formation, with emphasis on spiritual formation, character development, and preparation for religious and educational service.
FS2F adopts a hybrid educational model, combining on-site instruction with technology-mediated education, in accordance with recognized pedagogical principles of religious education. This model ensures appropriate academic supervision, curricular coherence, and institutional integrity. The program is offered exclusively for religious, ministerial, and educational purposes and does not constitute a state-regulated professional program.
Within its international scope, FS2F maintains strategic academic partnerships with the Institute of Theology and Modern Technology (ITTM) and Faculdade Horizonte, both legally established educational institutions in Brazil. Through these partnerships, the program enables dual academic certification in the United States and Brazil, in accordance with the academic standards, legal frameworks, and institutional responsibilities applicable to each partner institution. Certifications are issued independently by each institution, in compliance with the laws and academic criteria of their respective countries.
The Bachelor of Theology program at FS2F is intended for students seeking a confessionally clear, academically structured theological education aligned with the principles of Christian religious instruction, preparing them for ministry, theological teaching, and Christian service, while respecting the legal and institutional boundaries governing religious educational institutions.
