There are simply too many details involved to expect that kind of in-depth learning to take place during regular church activities. Should people be learning from what's taught at their churches? Most definitely. Does that mean churches are supposed to be set up like colleges? Of course not.
Also, Bible college doesn't just teach one about the Bible. Bible courses are mixed in with the other subjects being taught. At least I would think it's this way. Even in secular colleges you have to take English classes, things like advanced mathematics, and suchlike. This is assuming, of course, you aren't getting your degree from one of these degree mills.

Here is what I am saying. Paul taught the Elders at Ephesus everything he knew.
26: Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27: For I have not shunned to declare unto you
all the counsel of God.
28: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Acts 20:26-28
He said he taught them
ALL THE COUNSEL OF GOD. That means there was nothing he was holding back from them. He then charged
THEM to feed the flock. With what?
The whole counsel of God they got from him. This was a primitive time and place in our eyes. Yet
THEY had the truth. We on the other hand in this day with all our learning tools and Bible Colleges have produced Preachers that are in key issues at stark contrast to the simplistic gospel taught in the early Church.
Looks like I am outgunned in this belief so guess I should let it go.
