Today, more than ever, the world needs effective, relevant, courageous, and caring people who will present the Gospel in all its saving and life-changing power. Men and women like you will carry that banner into the next generation. Since God is leading you into His work, we are ready to help you prepare for His purpose.

Studying at RICE will do many things for you. It will help give a Scriptural foundation for your life as you study God’s Word under the respected RICE name. It will also provide you with Spirit-filled, competent, and experienced teachers who will cover the subject completely and clearly. RICE is the place for you!
We have prepared this website to answer your questions about entrance requirements, finances, and course offerings. As you study its pages, you will notice the emphasis on the study of God’s Word. The Bible is at the very core of our curriculum at RICE. It is our fervent desire that each student be equipped with a solid biblical foundation for God’s work. We are pleased to be able to offer an academic program that leads to a Pastoral Diploma, Christian Education Diploma, and Adult Continuing Education Certificate. Studies through RICE are organized to be flexible to accommodate the unique needs of adult learners. Careful attention has been given to ensure that the spirit and ethos of RICE are transmitted through the curriculum.
As you seek God’s will for your future training, our staff is ready to assist you. Do not hesitate to contact me and/or the RICE staff about any question not answered on this website.
