Biblical Hermeneutics, or Bible Interpretation, may not sound the most fun or exciting subject to study but among comments made by previous students are:

• “I now understand the Bible so much better than I used to”
• “even in my own devotions I am getting more out of my Bible than before”

In this module we’ll give you the tools to correctly understand and apply the teaching of any part of God’s Word, and it also provides the necessary foundation for teaching or preaching the Bible.  We promise you that it is not as dull as you might at first think! Our Principal reckons it’s one of his very favourite subjects. When Paul tells Timothy to be an unashamed workman, “rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 15), he is, by implication, highlighting the fact that there are incorrect ways of handling the Scriptures. This important course will keep you right.

Over 30 Wednesday afternoons through the College year, starting on 1st October 2025, our Principal, John Brand, will introduce you to the ‘Golden Rules’ of interpreting the Bible and give you the ‘tools’ necessary to rightly handle the word of truth.  This course would be of immense value, not only to those who are preparing to teach or preach God’s Word but, indeed, to all believers who want to get more out of their Bibles.

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

For auditing, the cost for the whole year-long course is £450; for assessments it is £600. This amount can be paid in three termly instalments.

Some people think the Bible is boring! They have clearly never read Acts. The growth and expansion of the early church as recorded in the book of Acts is nothing less than spectacular. In the space of little more than 30 years the church grew from 120 frightened believers in Jerusalem to tens of thousands of them all over the known world. What were the secrets of their success and what can we learn from them today?

Join us on 10 Tuesday mornings, from 9.30 – 10.30, starting on 30th September 2025, through the autumn for an exciting journey of discovery, as we read of how the 1st century church turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6) and what lessons there are for the 21st century church. Your tour guide is EBC’s Principal,  John Brand

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 an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits

Our website is, in many ways, the shop window for the College.   Other than through personal recommendation, it’s the way most folk find out about us when they go online to find study options.  Everyone tells us that the website is good, professional and user friendly.  We are also being told – and we are convinced it’s true – that we could significantly increase traffic to the site, and therefore potential students, if we greatly improved our SEO – Search Engine Optimization.  The problem is that we need technical advice and help to do that and it’s not cheap.  Believe us, we’ve looked!

And then we thought – surely, there is someone out there – or someone who knows someone – who could help us; someone who could teach us what to do and how to do it, or who could take this on as a labour of love for the Lord and the Kingdom.    In return, we would gladly offer some free tuition.

“I don’t need any help with my prayer life….”, said no one ever, at least not in my hearing or to my knowledge!

If there is one thing I find all Christians to be united about, it is the defective nature and weakness of their prayer life.   With the disciples of old, the universal Christian cry is, “Lord, teach us to pray”.

Well we can’t give you the Lord in person, but we can give you our good friend Dr Sandy Roger as a help.  Sandy has considerable experience in teaching on this subject and brings a lifetime of ministry and pastoral – as well as personal – experience to bear.

Why not invest just one hour a week over 9 weeks and, together with others, make some progress in the school of prayer?

The course will be run over 9 Wednesday mornings between 9.30 and 10.30, and will be held over zoom so that WHOEVER your are and WHEREVER you are, you can take part and benefit.

There are two ways to get involved:

• You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from notes and materials.  Cost is £70
• You can submit assessments – completing an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits.  Cost is £100

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