Dedicated Leaders with Local-Church Experience

Proven. Passionate. Purposeful.

Because Veritas is an online college, we are able to bring trusted faculty together from all parts of God’s Kingdom. Bringing Proven Leaders to You isn’t just a slogan – it’s a realized, fundamental component of who we are doctrinally, phillosophically, and practically.
