Our Founding Story

Welcome to WTBS website, AS Co-founder, I want to personally thank you for taking to visit WBTS and to see what we are all about. The curriculum that offers I believe is second to none. We are not an educational institution that stereotypes students into believing a certain doctrine.

Dr. Larry Tolbert is the founder and president of World Bible Theological Seminary. He is a graduate of World Bible Theological Seminary and has a passion for teaching the Word of God. He has been in the ministry for over 30 years and has a passion for seeing people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
