Pastor Are You Interested In Starting
A Bible College In Your Church
Pastors, it is not just our duty but our divine mandate to equip the Saints to grow spiritually and fulfill God’s calling in their lives. We are also called to be fishers of men, yet for too long, the church has operated under the misconception that the way to expand Christianity is by bringing the lost to church so the pastor can lead them to salvation. However, scripture shows us another way.
The Great Commission was never exclusively directed at pastors. Instead, it is a charge to all believers to share the Gospel and reach the lost. As it is written in Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV): "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
I believe many of you, as pastors, may feel God calling you to establish a seminary or Bible college within your church. If this resonates with the vision God has placed on your heart, I encourage you to explore how we can bring that vision to life. Together, we can ensure that the Church is fully equipped to carry out its mission, empowering believers to take the Gospel to the world.
It's Time That We as Christians
Get a Clear Understanding About What We Believe.
Expand your biblical knowledge, strengthen your faith, and prepare for ministry—all from the comfort of your home.
