This course, taught by EBC’s Principal, Ramone McKenzie, offers the student a look at the foundations of the early Church, focusing on the first seven centuries of Church history. We will examine specific controversies that unfolded during this period and how the Church (universal) reacted through Councils issuing universal creeds (statements of faith) as to what they believed concerning the person of Christ.

Taught over zoom, so you can join wherever you are and whoever you are, the course will be taught on 20 Monday afternoons (1.00 – 3.00), through the autumn and spring terms, starting on September 28th.

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 is £300; for assessments it is £400, and payment can be made in two instalments

As many of our supporters will be aware, John Brand, our Academic Dean, is leading a conference for leaders of South Sudanese churches in Adjumani, northern Uganda, in early September. There is still an opportunity to support this venture financially as John is seeking to raise the necessary finances for the conference to take place. The plan is to have 60 delegates at the conference, at a cost of £120 per head; exceptionally good value when you consider this includes food, accommodation and the conference itself.

If you would like to contribute, please go to the dedicated GoFund me page.

John has now set up a special website where he will post news and updates in the run up to the conference and, internet signal and time permitting, during the conference itself. You can find this website here.

These are surely two of the most fundamental questions of all time and in this module, taught by EBC’s Academic Dean, John Brand, we will be examining, first, the biblical teaching on the nature of mankind and what it means to be created in the image of God in humanity, and then where did sin come from, was man created as a sinful being or did he become sinful some time after his creation, and if so, how did it happen and how has it happened that sin and its effects have spread throughout humanity? 

Taught over zoom, so you can join wherever you are and whoever you are, the course will be taught on 10 Wednesday afternoons (1.00 – 3.00), starting on September 30th.

Biblical Hermeneutics, or Bible Interpretation, may not sound the most fun or exciting subject to study but this is really a foundational course; foundational to everything we teach at EBC, and absolutely essential for anyone who plans to do any teaching or preaching, never mind personal study of Scripture. 

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 we promise you that it is not as dull as you might at first think! When Paul tells Timothy to be an unashamed workman, “rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), he is, by implication, highlighting the fact that there are incorrect ways of handling the Scriptures. This important course will keep you right.

Taught by Pastor Daniel Butt, Pastor of The People’s Mission in South Shields, this yearlong course is held on 30 Monday evenings (7.15 – 9.15), starting on 28th September. The course is held on zoom so wherever you are and whoever you are, you can join.

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.

Over 10 Wednesday mornings in the autumn, starting on 30 September, Rev Gavino Fioretti, Minister of the Free Church of Scotland congregation in Evanton, north of Inverness, will be guiding students through the monumentally important Letter to the Romans.

Martin Luther, the German Reformer said

The Epistle to the Romans is the true masterpiece of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel which is well worth and deserving that a Christian man should not only learn it by heart, word for word, but also that he should daily deal with it as the daily bread of man’s souls.   It can never be too much or too well read or studied, and the more it is handled the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.

Is there a more important book in the Bible? This module is intended to open up Romans, highlighting and expounding the great doctrines of the faith that it teaches, as well as identifying all the practical implications and applications.

This module will be held over 10 Wednesday mornings (10.00 – 12.00) through the autumn, and is open to ANYONE who would like to study with us. All classes are held over zoom so wherever you are you can join in.

There are two options for studying:

Auditing (£150) – whereby you enjoy the teaching and fellowship but don’t complete any assignments to gain study credits.

Assessments (£200) – students who complete the set assignments can earn study credits.

You can download a Module Description here.

Registration is essential and can be done here.
