Why would I choose EBC over the other options that are available in the UK?
It’s a fair question and one we believe we have an answer for!
Edinburgh Bible College is founded on, and driven by, some core values and distinctives- we describe them as our BIG 7:
Biblical
A training that produces men and women who are steeped in the Scriptures and whose lives are shaped by their teaching
Ecclesial
A training that is accountable to, and in partnership with, local churches
Vocational
A training that doesn’t just impart head knowledge, but equips believers to become actively involved in Gospel work
Transformational
A training that results in growth in spiritual maturity and Christ-likeness, with an emphasis on spiritual disciplines
Missional
A training that is aimed at getting God’s people out into a dying world to reach men and women with the good news of Christ
Flexible
A training that is accessible to as many people as possible by providing full or part time, on-line or modular study courses
Accessible
A training for which the only entrance requirements for full-time study are a clear and credible Christian testimony and the commendation of the local church
