Missionary Candidate Training

Pastoral Training

In addition to running and supporting a ministry training center in Kenya, special pastoral seminars are being held by Rev. Lee's team at 20 different regions of East Africa each month. Those seminars are designed to provide local pastors both the hands-on training for church ministry and the spiritual renewal.

E.A.P.T.C. Bible School Catalog

Evangelical Alliance for Preacher Training and Commission Bible School, founded in suburban Nairobi, the gateway to Africa, in 2003, is a missioncentered academy designed to train godly, skilled leaders for the Church.

The Bible school is conveniently situated in upper- Matasia, off Ngong-Kiserian Road, 5.5 km from Ngong town and 4.5 km from Kiserian town.

Aims and Objectives

• To prepare men and women for full-time Christian service in various realms of the ministry; and to develop leaders for the church, providing the most flexible environment for training.
• To provide opportunities for students to acquire skills for critical thought, scholarly research, and the integration of knowledge, which will aid continued independent and creative research.
• To teach sound doctrine through proper interpretation of the Scriptures, governed by grammatical, historical and contextual hermeneutics, and in a manner consistent with the apostles and the Old Testament prophets.
• To be a catalyst to bring unity in the body of Christ by providing a common place where people from all different evangelical backgrounds can come together for study and research.
• To create awareness about unreached people groups and prepare students to go into the world as Christ has instructed, thereby fulfilling the Great Commission.
• To demonstrate leadership and co-operation with others at home, in the community, and within the local church and related organisations.
• To prepare men and women to have an informed appreciation of human cultural heritage and become responsible citizens who respect authority and make positive contributions to the society.

Programmes Offered

1. ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF MINISTERIAL TRAINING (Adv. Dip.):

The programme is designed to prepare students for full-time ministry. Designed as a supplement course for EAPTC School of Mission programme, this Word-packed course will be most meaningful to those who already have some ministry experience and find themselves in need of further professional and theological training for a sound doctrinal balance in their ministry.

One can complete the course by covering 18 helpful subjects namely:

• Church History
• Systematic Theology I, II, III
• Pentateuch
• Mission and Evangelism
• Christian Education
• Bible Study and Interpretation
• New Testament Survey
• Historical Books
• Gospel, Preaching
• Personal Spiritual Life
• Old Testament Survey
• Pauline Epistles
• Church Ministry
• Administration
• Pastoral Ministry and Discipleship

Up to a total of 54 credit hours may be earned through this course. However, Advanced Diploma of Ministerial Training, which will be issued upon completion of this course, is a mere recognition of completing an additional training which supplements the EAPTCSM programme, and the credit hours earned in the course are not necessarily intended to meet all the accreditation criteria of other institutions, although some schools may acknowledge its values.

2. DEGREE PROGRAMMES (B.A., M.A., Doctorate):

The degree programmes are being planned to start in the near future. Consult with the school director for more information.
