VISION
To transform Christian believers who have a call upon their lives to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We prepare them to be well-rounded leaders with a biblical foundation, practical knowledge, faith and determination to live a life in Christ, demonstrate Christ-likeness, and plan, plant and grow ministries worldwide.
MISSION
The purpose of Evangel Bible College is to equip the servants of God in building the Kingdom by enriching their knowledge and enhancing their spiritual gifts, thereby motivating them to become engaged disciples and passionate advocates for Christ. The foundation of our pedagogical approach is biblically based, and draws on the mission of The Great Commission:
“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: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matt 28: 19-20).
Through this uniquely designed program that includes concentrations in Church Ministry and Leadership; School of Prayer; School of Prophets and School of Disciples, students will understand the foundations of Christ’s directives for believers and the church, and be well equipped to evangelize, disciple, plan, plant, and grow a church of Christian believers.
