African Bible Training Centre

African Bible Training Centre Helping God's people delight in God's Word The goal of our programme is very simple. To accomplish that, we've purposefully designed our courses to be rigorous.

Over the past several years we have developed a multi-level training programme that is designed to give students an overview of the entire Bible and a better understanding of key biblical doctrines. We want to help students love God more by helping them listen to God as He speaks through His Word. We seek to do that by helping students understand how the Bible works and what the Bible is about so

that they will be equipped to benefit from it in their personal study and so that they will be equipped to explain the Bible better to others. But the efforts students make will be well worth it, because students will come to understand both the contents and theology of the entire Bible. We currently offer two courses: Bible Theology and Systematic Theology, each course being one year long. The overview course gives you a firm foundation about each book of the Bible, the key theological themes, and how each book fits into the bigger picture of Scripture. The Systematic Theology class is designed to teach you the fundamental doctrines found in Scripture, give you a firm foundation and understanding of biblical theology, and explain how it relates to the Christian life. We also host frequent one-day Practical Theology Seminars that cover various topics. Our goal is to equip Christians to be able to understand and apply truth practically in their day-to-day lives. ABTC is essentially a ministry dedicated to helping people understand, enjoy, and apply their Bibles. We seek to come alongside local churches by providing intensive Bible training that will equip their members to serve more effectively in various ministries.

"The study of theology is not merely a theoretical exercise of the intellect. It is a study of the living God, and of the wonders of all His works in creation and redemption. We cannot study this subject dispassionately! We must love all that God is, all that He says, and all that He does."

Christians who have a firm grasp on these truths are not easily deceived or shaken when errors or troubles come. They find it easier to make decisions that please God and also help other people who are facing hard problems. Such Christians are happier, more grateful, more hopeful, and, ultimately, their lives bring glory to God in an anti-God world.
