Our principal’s latest guest interviewee is Colin Adams, Pastor of Greenview Evangelical Church in Glasgow, and a member of EBC’s Council of Reference.
Preachers on Preaching
Our Principal, John Brand, has recently conducted another of his interviews with preachers, this time with Paul Gibson of Knox Free Church in Perth
Prayer and Praise (June)
As a College we are immensely grateful for the many individuals and churches who faithfully support the work in their regular prayers. To help them, each month we produce a brief powerpoint presentation with a few pointers, and the one for June is now available here.
Could you perhaps ask your own church to take a few minutes each month in their regular prayer meeting to pray for the College?
Prayer and Praise for May
Our Prayer and Praise ppt for May is now available here.
A number of friends and local churches use this to inform their praying for the College and we are very grateful. Could you use it as well?
A Day in the Bible
Over recent years I have presented my Bible in a Day seminar to 100s of people in numerous churches around the UK and also in Poland. That seminar is still available but I am now developing a new one called A Day in the Bible and have already got bookings for it in Liverpool and Omagh in the autumn.
This seminar addresses two hugely important subjects –
Session 1: The Story of the Bible
- How did we get our English language Bibles?
- Why only 66 books – why these 66 and who decided on them?
- What do we make of The Apocrypha and other extra biblical literature?
- Why do we still need new versions and translations?
- How do I choose the best version to use?
Session 2: The Doctrine of the Bible
The Bible is:
- Inspired
- Infallible
- Inerrant
- Authoritative
- Sufficient
- Clear
There will be lots of notes and visuals, opportunities for questions and answers, and a book containing all the contents of the seminar.
If you would be interested in discussing possibilities for presenting this in your church – either over one day or perhaps two evenings – please contact me.

New Adjunct Lecturers
We are always looking to strengthen our already formidable team of adjunct lecturers and have recently added two new men who will be teaching in the summer term.
Rev Ben Fiddian studied Genetics at the University of Sheffield and Theology at the Wales Evangelical School of Theology in Bryntirion, South Wales. He has served in a variety of ministry contexts in the UK and overseas and is currently exploring research interests in the challenges posed to faith and religion by secular multiculturalism. Based in St Andrews, he enjoys walking his dogs on the local beaches. He will be teaching Pneumatology, the doctrine of The Holy Spirit.
Jamie Gallacher is ‘one of our own’, having graduated from EBC with a Diploma in Expository Preaching (Honours) EBC in 2017 and a Licentiate in Theology in 2020. He then undertook further studies at Highland Theological College and graduated with a BA(Hons) in Theological Studies. Jamie is currently planning on doing a 1 year top up Masters at Edinburgh New College and then hopefully a PhD in Textual Criticism. He will be teaching Introduction to New Testament Greek.
