The Expositors Seminary (TES) is located at five church campuses:

Grace Immanuel Bible Church in Jupiter Florida
Grace Bible Church in Brandon Florida
The Bible Church of Little Rock in Little Rock, Arkansas
Grace Community Church in Jacksonville Florida
Timberlake Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia

Each church ministry provides a healthy model of church life and expository preaching.

Theological education is the task and responsibility of the church. Scriptures declare the church of the living God to be, "the pillar and support of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). The training at TES takes place within the context of the life and oversight of local churches. Faithful and proven pastors, teachers, and leaders from all five churches unite to provide the student with an education that combines informed scholarship with pastoral mentoring. Classes take place on Tuesday through Thursday at each location.

Although TES is located at five local church campuses, all the classrooms are seamlessly integrated over a dedicated private network for one real-time classroom experience. Each of our campus churches has a state-of-the-art classroom that is linked to the others by real-time video technology. This allows for gifted pastors and teachers from each church to instruct students in all five locations simultaneously with live interaction between the student and his teacher.

Each church campus provides a resource center for the student which includes primary reference volumes for biblical research, periodicals, and exceptional access to online libraries. Students are given access to seminarylibrary.com, a digitized library containing thousands of searchable, hi-resolution books that normally reside in only the best theological libraries.

Our focus is to offer one degree, the Master of Divinity. The curriculum presents a study program in graduate level theological education to provide a pastor-teacher with the necessary exegetical, theological, and practical skills needed for pastoral or missionary service. Students are mentored by experienced shepherds who know the pain and pleasure of tending a flock and have proven faithful in expository preaching and pastoral ministry.

The Commission for Independent Education in the state of Florida has issued a letter to The Expositors Seminary which recognizes that the seminary has met the requirements of the law, is granted exemption from licensure, and is not subject to governmental oversight. A copy of this letter is available upon request. TES has complied with, and shall continue to comply with all the requirements of the applicable Florida statute (Fl. St. Ann. 1005.06(f)). While TES is not required to obtain licensure in order to grant the Master of Divinity degree, the seminary plans to seek both state licensure and national accreditation.

The seminary is in the process of developing the detailed studies required to seek national accreditation. The process requires a minimum of five years. Initial accreditation will be sought from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). TRACS is recognized by both the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the U.S. Department of Education.
