Purpose You are invited to come along!

The International Full Gospel Pentecostal Churches Bible Institutes simply called the Pentecostal Bible Institute is the first local church theological training vehicle of The International Full Gospel Pentecostal Church is a Fellowship of Independent Churches and Ministries.

If an individual is called to train for the ministry of the Church, then the Pentecostal Bible Institute will direct that individual to courses that can be taken through the Jacobus Arminius Centre and our connection with a seminary in the United States of America, the Pentecostal Theological Seminary.

The Pentecostal Theological Seminary USA is a Pentecostal theological program for those called to be Ministers in The International Full Gospel Pentecostal Church and the Assemblies of God (International Fellowship).

Although its theological background is firmly classical Pentecostal, the courses, training and religious degrees will be extensive in scope and not limited to the Pentecostal doctrinal stand only, but will include other theological opinions.

What we at The Pentecostal Bible Institute are offering is nothing new. London Theological Seminary is now offering American originating theological study through its John Owen Centre for theological study and its affiliation with Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, promoting Calvinist theological doctrine. Likewise, we at The Pentecostal Bible Institute are offering is internationally originating theological study, promoting Arminian and Pentecostal theological doctrine.

The difference is that instead of having just one campus or Bible College facility to which we expect students to take residency in, we instead encourage each of our local churches to participate in our Pentecostal Bible Institute programme, therefore encouraging new potential leadership to grow in the local church setting but also having the advantage of individually progressing further with their studies through the courses available to them through our sister college, The Jacobus Arminius Centre.
