Ministry is everyday – not just on a Sunday. The course options at PBC empower you to serve in various contexts. This includes full-time church ministry or other ministry roles.
Studying for Christian ministry requires a commitment to learning, a passion for serving others and a willingness to be mentored and trained by experienced leaders and educators.
Digging in the Word and our Hearts
Designed to challenge you to think deeply about God, His Word and the world, our gospel-centered, Kingdom-focused qualifications aim to help you engage effectively in the context you have been called.

Our Lecturers
We surround students with lecturers who profess Christian faith, teach sound theology, and engage in church communities.
“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28, NIV)
