Why Women's Seminary?

Rethinking Higher Education

Women are looking for more than head knowledge. They know that information does not equate transformation. Women are increasingly hungry for living knowledge grounded in truth and reason. They seek wisdom, healing, fulfillment, and an encounter with Jesus. A women-centric model is purposefully cultivated to address the specificities  of biblical womanhood.

Our Institutional Makeup

Come and Behold Women’s Seminary and Bible College is legally classified as a nonprofit religious organization under the Behold Institute and a private independent higher education institution dedicated exclusively to theological education and ministry training for women. Our sole purpose is to equip women in Christian disciplines to prepare them for vocational roles related to ministry, biblical scholarship, and faith-based leadership.

We remain committed to biblical studies, theology, and ministry preparation, ensuring that every program aligns with our mission to prepare women for their faith journeys. Our seminary exists to nurture, develop, and prepare Christian women who will serve their communities in faith-based roles, ensuring that every aspect of our institution remains dedicated to advancing theological knowledge and ministerial effectiveness for women in the Church.

If you have any questions about our mission, programs, or institutional status, please feel free to contact us.

Accreditation 

Our seminary is in the process of applying for an exemption under New Mexico’s Private Post-Secondary Educational Institution Act (Section 21-23-4 NMSA 1978). This exemption is available to chartered, nonprofit religious institutions whose sole purpose is to train students in religious disciplines to prepare them for vocational roles primarily related to religion.

While our application is under review, we continue to operate in accordance with New Mexico’s guidelines for religious educational institutions. Our programs remain focused on theological education, biblical studies, and ministry preparation, aligning with our mission to equip students for faith-based vocations.

It is important for students to note that this exemption does not imply state accreditation, nor does it guarantee transferability of credits to all institutions. However, for those looking to continue their studies beyond CBWS, we have articulation agreements with select universities that recognize our coursework for transfer credit. We are also members of several international organizations that make transferring to international institutions upon graduation more likely. If you are interested in exploring these opportunities, please contact us for further details. We will provide updates as soon as the exemption process is finalized. If you have any questions regarding our status or how it applies to your educational goals, please do not hesitate to reach out.

History in the Making

Problem-Based & Experiential 

Come and Behold Women's Seminary (CBWS) emerged from a profound necessity, responding to an urgent call for higher education reform driven by financial, ideological, and social imperatives. In a landscape rich with commendable institutions, we chose to forge a model that resonates deeply with the contemporary woman, thoughtfully addressing her unique needs in terms of core beliefs, finances, and sociability. At the heart of our approach lies the compassionate essence of Jesus for women, fostering safe environments conducive to spiritual growth and intimacy with Him. While coeducational settings offer valuable experiences, there is an undeniable strength found in learning alongside a community of sisters. Thus, CBWS stands as a rigorous, heartfelt, orthodox, and spirit-filled seminary and communal learning network dedicated to exploring tough questions and nurturing a transformative educational journey. We are an international community welcoming women worldwide.
