PROGRAM OVERVIEW
ABTC consists of two tracks of learning: Foundations and School of Missions and Ministry.
01
Foundations
This is our first-year program at Accelerate Bible Training College and will provide biblical teaching and discussion groups to help students form a solid biblical foundation. Classes will be accompanied by regular times of worship and prayer to encourage deeper connection and intimacy with God. Together, these times of the Word and Spirit will bring transformation and lay a solid foundation from which to build life and ministry.
02
Missions and Ministry
ABTC School of Missions and Ministry is specifically designed to further equip students with key leadership skills and specialized training needed to prepare them for ministry, missions, and church planting. Completion of Foundations (or an approved bible college such as Charis and RHEMA Bible Training College) is a prerequisite for the School of Missions and Ministry. Upon successful completion of Missions and Ministry, students will receive a diploma.
Encounter Nights
In addition to the teaching sessions, students will have regularly scheduled Encounter Nights* throughout their year at ABTC. Encounter Nights are a time when we focus on what the Holy Spirit is saying. We will spend time in prayer and worship. Encounter Nights will also include time for discussion around the current class subject.
Encounter Nights take place on fourteen select Thursday evenings across the school year from 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
*The prayer and worship portion of Encounter Nights is open to the public. Attendance is limited based on seating and is available on a first-come, first serve basis.
Ways to Attend
We want to make ABTC available to as many people as possible, therefore we have the following options available:
Online
Teaching sessions and Encounter nights are offered online to those who do not live close enough to attend in person or may live close enough but cannot attend in person due to scheduling conflicts/extenuating circumstances.
Hybrid
Teaching sessions are offered online, but Encounter nights must be attended in person on Thursday evenings*. This option is available for those who cannot commit to attend full time (Tuesday and Thursday evenings each week).
