Our church in Uganda, Acacia Community Church, has began offering a program called Bible Training Centre for Pastors/Leaders (BTCP/L). The purpose of BTCP/L is to extend non-formal theological training to the world’s untrained pastors and church leaders. BTCP/L training uses a biblical, systematic, portable and comprehensive approach to providing the foundational equivalent of a good Bible college or seminary education. The training consists of 520 hours of interactive classroom lecture and discussion under the supervision of a qualified teacher, taking about 2 years to complete.

I’m currently attending BTCP/L on Tuesday and Thursday nights because I’ve never had any formal Bible training. I feel it is necessary to be equipped to serve others and equip others better. You must be discipled to make disciples.

The program includes 10 courses consisting of:

1 – Bible Study Methods and Rules of Interpretation
2 – Old Testament Survey
3 – New Testament Survey
4 – Preaching Biblical Messages and Pastoral Ministry
5 – Bible Doctrine Survey
6 – Personal Spiritual Life
7 – Church Ministry/Administration/Education
8 – Teaching Principles and Methods
9 – Church History Survey
10 – Missions/Evangelism/Discipleship

I’m very excited about this course and becoming equipped to serve better! I’m very thankful to Acacia Community Church, Pastor Terry Nester, and East African Outreach for making this program possible!
