Evening Classes on Zoom

by with No Comment AnnouncementsRoute 66Virtual Classrooms

Two weeks today our new autumn series of evening classes on zoom starts and we hope you are going to join us. Over the next nine months, week by week and book by book we will travel Route 66, working our way right through the Bible, studying each individual book as well as setting it in its wider biblical context. This would be a great way to get a good handle on your Bible in a way you may never have done before.

Held over zoom, you don’t even need to leave home to benefit from this course! And because all sessions are recorded, if the live teaching time doesn’t suit you, registered students can access and watch them at a convenient time of their own choosing.

There are two ways to get involved:

  • You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from lots of notes and materials
  • you can submit assessments – completing three assignments for marking and gaining EBC study credits

The course starts on Monday 26th September 2022 and runs from 7.00 – 9.00pm each Monday evening during College term time. Specific dates will be provided.

The cost is:

  • auditing option: £150 per term (10 sessions @ £15 per night); £420 for the whole year if paid in advance
  • assessments option: £200 per term (10 sessions @ £20 per night); £570 for the whole year if paid in advance

Please note that fees must be paid at least one term in advance. Registration is essential and can be done here.

Course Tutor:

Pastor John Brand DipTH, EBC Director of Training

John was born to missionary parents in India and trusted Christ for salvation while at boarding school there at the age of 11.  He later trained at the Bible Training Institute in Glasgow, and then, for 12 years, pastored two Independent Evangelical churches, one in the inner city of London and then one in Liverpool, during some of which time he also served on the UK Council of Africa Inland Mission International (AIM). In 1993 he took on the role of AIM’s Director for Scotland, becoming Director for UK and Europe in 1999. During his 8 years in this position he exercised a Bible teaching ministry throughout UK and Europe and made regular visits to many of AIM’s fields of service in Africa where he was involved in ministering to missionaries and nationals. Married to Caroline and with two grown up sons and two grand-daughters, John is Pastor of Grace Community Church, Broxburn, contributes book reviews and articles to Christian publications, and is author of three books – A Concise Chronology of the Bible, The Bible as it Happened and Mission Matters, which has also been published in Romanian. In the little spare time he has, he enjoys reading, walking and family history research.

Could You Be A Friend Of EBC?

by with No Comment AnnouncementsFriends of EBC

Edinburgh Bible College was established in 2012 to provide a grass-roots, church based training and equipping for ANY Christian and, already, in the Lord’s goodness, we have been privileged to help train students who are now serving in, among other places, Poland, USA, Canada, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Ireland, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as others who have just got to know their God and their Bibles better.

Humanly speaking, none of this would have been possible without the prayerful and financial support of many people, and we are enormously grateful to each one.

In common with most non-denominational Bible Colleges in the UK, income from tuition fees only accounts for about two-thirds of our core costs and so we are dependent on the generosity of our supporters to maintain and develop the ministry.

By joining Friends of EBC you can play an important part in helping us equip the next generation of church leaders.

As a Friend of EBC, you would give a monthly contribution of £10 or more to help us cover our costs. In return, we would send you regular updates about how this support is helping us move forward in providing quality training for more and more of God’s people.

As a special ‘Thank You’ to every new Friend of EBC, we will send you a copy of The Bible As It Happened, a chronological Bible reading plan written by our Director of Training, Pastor John Brand.

For more information, please email friends@edinburghbiblecollege.co.uk and we’ll get things moving.

Thank you

Introduction to New Testament Greek

by with No Comment AnnouncementsVirtual Classrooms

If you are serious about studying the Bible in any depth and reading commentaries, we believe you really should get at least the basics of the New Testament Greek alphabet and the way the language works.

If you are a teacher or preacher, it is essential to have at least a reading knowledge of the language, so that you can follow the text even if you need to look at a translation or dictionary from time to time. This will help you to understand both the text itself and some of the more complex areas of interpretation.
