Bachelor of Theology

Course Overview

Apostolic Bible College (ABC) is a unique training center 100% dedicated to raising up and equipping workers for the Kingdom of God. There are thousands of villages throughout Asia and Africa that have no church, no Pastor, and no active Christian witness.

The Bible says, “But when Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'” (Matt. 9:36-38). Truer words have never been spoken regarding the world’s unreached people and the Church’s commission to reach them with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. ABC is committed to training laborers for God’s Kingdom who share Jesus’ passion and vision for the multitudes.

The vision of Apostolic Bible College is to raise up a generation of disciples of Jesus Christ who love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and are joyfully ready to lay down their own lives so that others might know, love, and follow Jesus. The Bachelor of Theology program is specifically designed to prepare our students to minister to both the spiritual and social needs of people throughout the world.

The 3-fold mission of this program is to:

All courses in the B.Th. program are taught on a module basis. Each course lasts 6 weeks and, typically, students take one course at a time.
