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.
ABTC has given me a fresh revelation of God’s desire for His people and how we all have a purpose and a mission on this earth. ABTC has helped bring clarity as to where God is leading me next and the plan that He has for my life concerning ministry.
If you desire a deeper, confirming walk with Jesus, these classes will give you the firm foundation and help to answer questions that you may have when sharing Jesus with others.
I recall a very challenging situation that we were going through, and the teaching we were getting in the Holy Spirit class was just what we needed at that time. I truly believe that every believer would benefit from going through a year of classes at ABTC, from new believers to long term members, staff, or lay leaders. That foundation in the Word will benefit them in every area of their lives.

FOUNDATIONS CLASS LIST
Believer’s Authority – BA12
As born-again Christians, God has seated us in a place of victory and authority in Christ. Through this class, students will learn what Biblical authority is and how to use it to overcome difficulties and challenges, enforce Satan’s defeat, and rule and reign in this life.
Biblical Foundations – BF12
Everyone’s life is built on a foundation of core beliefs. Those core beliefs guide decision-making and, ultimately, the decisions that determine our life’s direction. Jesus admonished us to build our lives upon the solid foundations of Scriptural Truth rather than the sinking sand of man’s reasoning, feelings, or intellect. In this class, students will be taught sound biblical doctrine to ensure a solid biblical foundation from which to build their lives.
Blood Covenant – BC6
This class is designed to give students insight into both the Old and New Testament Covenants. While maintaining an appreciation of the Old Covenant, students will discover the position they have in the new covenant and how to apply covenant principles to their lives in practical ways. Emphasis will be made on walking by faith, fellowshipping with God and how to relate and minister to people without legalism or sectarianism.
Evangelism – E6
This dynamic course, led by Evangelist Nick Kinn, provides you with proven, actionable strategies and confidence to share Christ effectively. Backed by real-world experience reaching 1.8 million souls in 29 nations and 165 U.S. churches, Nick and his wife Jane equip you to make a measurable impact and actively fulfill your calling.
You’ll master the 5 A’s of Evangelism—Assignment, Availability, Ability, Anointing, and Authority—while learning to develop evangelistic plans, build confidence in sharing your faith, and implement strategies for Preparing, Praying, Praising, Putting on the Armor, and Possessing the Land for God’s Kingdom. The course also features a special Evangelist Panel, where seasoned evangelists share wisdom and personal experiences to help you apply proven techniques, overcome common challenges, and expand your evangelistic reach. Step boldly into your calling as a laborer for the harvest—your time is now!
Financial Stewardship – FS12
This class is especially close to Dr. Pamela’s heart. She has thoughtfully designed it to empower and equip students with both biblical principles and practical tools to thrive as financial stewards. Her goal is to help students not only understand God’s perspective on money but also build habits and vision that lead to lasting financial freedom.
Using Andrew Wommack’s Financial Stewardship as the primary text, students will work independently to create detailed budgets, savings plans, and financial visions utilizing the Financial Peace Planner. As a bonus, Dr. Pamela recommends Millionaire Success Habits by her mentor Dean Graziosi to inspire students to think bigger about their future. By the end of this course, students will confidently grasp what it means to steward God’s resources well, have organized budgets and spending habits, and carry a clear vision for their financial future aligned with Kingdom purpose.
Healing – H6
This course empowers you to experience and minister God’s healing power through intimacy with Him, built on prayer, revelation, and faith. Rev. Jim Hockaday, a graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center (’88) and former Coordinator of Rhema’s Healing School under Kenneth E. Hagin, brings decades of experience teaching and demonstrating the miraculous. His ministry carries a bold expectation for God’s power to heal and restore. Pastors Folu & Tammara Gisanri, leaders of Living Word Healing School, provide Spirit-led pastoral insight and practical training that will help you minister healing in real-world settings. In this training, you will develop a deeper understanding of who God is and your identity in Christ. You will learn how to pray effectively for healing, both for yourself and others. You will also discover how to minister healing by faith as you are led by the Holy Spirit, equipping you to walk confidently in divine health and help others do the same.
History of Israel – HI12
This is the first of a two-part series tracing the History of Israel as God’s covenant people. Beginning with the book of Genesis, students will study creation, the fall, and God’s covenant with Abraham. The course follows Israel’s early history through the patriarchs, their deliverance from Egypt, and their wilderness journey under Moses’ leadership. Special emphasis is placed on covenant faithfulness, prophetic patterns, and leadership lessons found in Israel’s formative years. Students will see how God’s promises begin unfolding and how Israel is established as His chosen nation.
How to Interpret the Bible – BI6
This subject will help students develop the skill of Bible interpretation. Students will look at an overview of the rules of Bible interpretation, which includes contextual, historical, cultural, and grammatical interpretation. Emphasis is also given to the role of the Holy Spirit in Bible interpretation and how to apply the scriptures correctly.
In Christ – IC12
When you became a Christian, the Bible declares you were translated into a new Kingdom – the Kingdom of God. There are benefits and responsibilities. This class is focused on helping students understand their new identity and how to function as New Creatures in Christ. Everything has become new, and through this class, you will discover who you are, what you have, and what you can do through Christ.
Love of God – LG12
The love of God is vital to the life of every Christian. In this class, students will discover not only God’s love for them but also God’s love in them, which is to flow through them to others. God’s love is to rule our lives. We will learn what the love of God is, how to walk in love and release that love to others.
Ministry of the Holy Spirit – HS12
Jesus is God’s gift to the world, but the Holy Spirit is God’s gift to the Church; therefore, we need to learn more about Him. This class will focus on the person of the Holy Spirit, so students can understand and value His present-day ministry and utilize His presence and help each day. We will explore the role of the Holy Spirit as defined in scripture, including how to be led by the Spirit of God.
Power of Words – PW12
Scripture clearly shows us our words are powerful and carry creative power. In fact, the Bible tells us they steer our lives like a rudder steers a ship. Through this study, we will learn about the impact of our words and how to change the words of our mouths to align with the will of God to see His plan accomplished in our lives and through our lives.
Righteousness – R12
Knowing you are righteous in Christ is key to approaching God with boldness and confidence. It is also key to receiving the manifestation of God’s promises in your life. This class will focus on building students’ faith in the finished work of Christ, which includes making us the righteousness of God in Christ. We were sinners saved by grace, but now we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Prayer Principles – P12
This class will take you on a transformative journey into the depths of prayer, equipping you with a solid foundation for a life of powerful communication with God. We will explore the many types of prayer outlined in Scripture—intercessory, supplicatory, and thanksgiving prayers—while also learning how to listen for and recognize God’s voice. Through in-depth study and practical application, you will discover the essential role of Tongues and Interpretation, a key hallmark of this dispensation, and how it enhances your prayer life. The class will also provide opportunities for both independent prayer and corporate prayer experiences, allowing you to engage in a variety of prayer settings.
Understanding Grace – UG6
There are many aspects to the grace of God, and it is important to know and understand how each pertains to the Body of Christ. This class will cover what grace is, and what grace is not. It will also touch on different types of grace with an emphasis on saving grace as well as the role of faith in accessing the grace of God.
