This is a subject that is almost uniquely close to the heart of God and therefore should be close to our hearts as well. Given how important the Church is to God we will not be surprised to discover that he has a great deal to say about the Church in the Scriptures.   The individual believer and the local congregation of believers that wants to grow in Christ-likeness and spiritual maturity will be the believer and congregation that brings themselves under the authoritative teaching of God’s Word and seeks to live in as close conformity to it as possible.

This course, taught by EBC’s Director of Training, Pastor John Brand, will explore the biblical teaching on the doctrine of the Church, focussing on the nature, identity and purpose of the Church, and giving consideration to what the Scriptures say about its leaders, members, sacraments and worship.

Classes are held over zoom, making them accessible to ANYONE, wherever they live. They start on Thursday 20th April and run over 9 Thursday mornings between 11.00am and 1.00pm.

The cost is just £150 (auditing) or £200 (study credits), and you can register for this course here.

For many years the person and work of the Holy Spirit was a neglected study, which is why he is sometimes called “The Forgotten God” (Francis Chan).  As a result, the study of the Holy Spirit has become associated with controversy and marred by confusion.

Nevertheless, the Christian life is a spiritual life, because the Holy Spirit should be at the heart of our daily Christian experience. There is no Christian life apart from the presence, power and resources of the Holy Spirit.  This course will seek to teach clearly the biblical truths about the person and work of the Holy Spirit, while also dealing with the areas of controversy and confusion.

Classes are held over zoom, making them accessible to ANYONE, wherever they live. They start on Wednesday 19th April and run over 9 Wednesday mornings between 11.00am and 1.00pm. Your course tutor is Pastor John Brand, EBC’s Director of Training.

2 Timothy is Paul’s last recorded letter, written to his son in the faith just weeks before his own death. It is one of the most straight forward and urgent of the New Testament letters and one of the most relevant for our day and generation.

EBC’s Director of Training, Pastor John Brand, will open up this inspirational New Testament letter over 9 Tuesday mornings, between 9.30 and 10.30, starting on Tuesday 18th April. The cost is just £75 (auditing) or £100 (study credits), and you can register for this course here.

Classes are held over zoom, so wherever you live in the world, this course is accessible to you.

There can be little doubt that the book of Isaiah is one of the most theologically rich of any of the Old Testament books. As has often been said, Isaiah gives the fullest revelation about the Messiah in the Old Testament, and in fact it is possible to preach the whole Gospel from Isaiah.

But, while certain sections of Isaiah – such as chapter 6 or chapter 53 – are well known and loved, much of Isaiah is largely unfamiliar to most believers. Perhaps this is because of its size or some of the prophetic and historical content.

Isaiah is the longest book in the Bible, apart from the Psalms which is, in essence, a collection of separate literary units. Its biblical importance can be seen in the fact that the New Testament contains more than 400 references to Isaiah and Paul quotes from it many times in his letters.

Ignorance of any part of Scripture is not good, but that is especially true of a book which speaks so richly of Christ.   The book, as a whole, presents a majestic and moving view of Christ.

In this module, Rev Gavino Fioretti will open up this amazing book to you in such a way that you will be able to make sense of the overall structure and message of the book and, most importantly, see Jesus and the gospel. This is an entirely new module in our curriculum and one you don’t want to miss!

The class will be held on 10 Tuesday mornings, between 11am and 1pm, starting on April 18th and will be held on zoom, so that wherever you live you will be able to take part.

You can simply audit the course and benefit from the teaching and fellowship, or complete an assignment with a view to gaining some study credits. Full study notes and recordings are included in the price, which is £200, but only £150 for the auditing option.

Registration is essential and can be done here. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
