Special Programs: Non-Credit Korean Talbot Institute for Biblical Studies (KTIBS) Director: Dr. Victor Rhee The Korean Talbot Institute for Biblical Studies (KTIBS) offers a wide range of non-credit biblical, theological and ministry skills study courses on Talbot’s La Mirada campus. Its purpose is to equip believers with biblical/theological foundations essential for their spiritual growth and teaching God’s Word in their local churches. It is the goal of KTIBS to assist churches effectively to be the church in an environment that is essentially hostile to the message of God’s truth. Courses meet two hours each week for five weeks. Three different levels of certificates are awarded to students who have successfully completed the required courses. Courses are taught primarily in Korean. A current schedule of courses being offered may be obtained through the office of the KTIBS director on campus. Talbot Wives Fellowship Talbot Wives Fellowship provides an opportunity for wives of seminary students to deepen their relationship with God, establish meaningful friendships, and prepare to share ministry alongside their husbands. The weekly Tuesday evening meeting includes participation in prayer groups led by faculty wife mentors, instruction in practical ministry skills, and the exploration of spiritual truths through the insightful teaching of Talbot faculty and guest speakers. Husbands are occasionally included in meetings or social gatherings, and all events are designed to support our seminary families and enhance the Talbot community.
