-
To increase the biblical knowledge of the student;
-
To create an understanding of the Baptist faith;
-
To provide an educational structure that will develop candidates qualified for teaching and leadership positions;
-
To provide incentives for the candidates to complete the program, and
-
To produce trained church leaders.
Persons currently enrolled in the COPP are challenged to meet new objectives and to prepare for Christian service.
