Apostolic Bible College (ABC) aims to lead every adult Christian believer entering through its doors into an experiential journey where the student grows in the Love of Christ and knowledge of the Word of God, matures into the image of Christ, and flourishes in ministry anointed by the Spirit of God. At ABC, we believe that Biblical knowledge, Christ-like character, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit are all equally important for the fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose in our lives. ABC is designed to help every student embark on their transformation journey and experiential learning. Our students discover and embrace their royal identity, learn the values of the Kingdom, and walk in the authority and power of the King.
