Community Programs

SPU offers a variety of scholarly, accessible, and spiritually enriching opportunities to go deeper with Scripture and engage in serious theological reflection through our Center for Biblical and Theological Education. The Center for Biblical and Theological Education in the SPU School of Theology was founded to provide biblical and theological education for faculty, staff, and students; the church; and the world. One of its signature offerings is Lectio: Guided Bible Reading, a four-year, online program of readings and podcasts led by School of Theology faculty. The CBTE was originally funded in part by a grant from the Murdock Charitable Trust.
