Welcome      ______________________________________     

The Holy Fire of Revival is upon us!

We could, but we're not going to teach you how to produce a five CD motivational series on "How to be a better person", or show you how to be a TV evangelist. We aren't interested in turning you out to be another "Prosperity Preacher" or tell you how you can become the next celeb "happening ministry".

We won't be able to buff up your flesh in the old adamic carnal nature, with ear tickling, cross-less formulas, so that you can offer up "strange fire prayers and worship" before the face of the Almighty God.

But, if your interested in real revival, real burning passion for the Lord, for souls, for prayer, holiness, passion and purpose for Him and carrying your own cross in diciple-ship and holiness, then we are here for you. If you want to see revival come and God come down, then join us.

This Bible Institute was started by the Revd. Dr. Stephen Houston D.D., as part of the overall establishment of a new Pentecostal Church planted in Chippenham, Wiltshire, UK in 2005. The Church and the Bible Institute hold their services and lectures in what used to be Causeway Methodist Church but is now The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, UK. For Church Service and Bible Institute meeting times telephone 01249 465846

The Pentecostal Bible Institute is part of Pentecostal theological training for those called to be Ministers in The Pentecostal Holiness Church of Great Britain and Ireland and the Assemblies of God (International Fellowship).

The Pentecostal Church, in the wider meaning of including all the variety of Churches within "Pentecostalism", is now the single largest Protestant denomination globally.

Estimated, to number between 400 and 600 million followers worldwide in 2000, Pentecostalism is running neck and neck with the Roman Catholic Church to be the largest Christian denomination.

Christianity Today reported in an article titled World Growth at 19 Million a year, according to historian Vinson Synan, dean of the Regent University School of Divinity in Virginia Beach. Very conservatively, about 25 percent of the world's Christians are Pentecostal or charismatic.

Therefore it seemed inevitable that representative institutions should be established to represent Pentecostalism's growing influence in the wider world and to monitor the results of that influence.

This should also include the actions of those who promote Pentecostalism's advancement by planting and establishing new Churches and Bible Training Institutions.

Inside Europe and particularly the United Kingdom, Pentecostalism is wrongly portrayed as a minor Christian denomination, as state churches e.g. the Lutheran, Reformed, Roman Catholic, Church of England etc, grab the media and the government's attention.

However, the European and UK public are not jaundiced in their perception of exactly what place Pentecostalism holds. They are becoming more and more aware of global statistics that are evolving and particularly in Europe and UK. This is because of Pentecostalism's dominance in the field of evangelism and the Christian media.
