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.

Each month we produce a very brief powerpoint presentation with a few headlines for prayer and praise.  Our hope and prayer is that individuals who support the work might find them useful but also that church fellowships might take a few minutes each month in their prayer meeting to remember the work before the throne of grace.  We usually produce the presentation at the turn of the month but, for various reasons, the March one is a little later than we had hoped.

You can download the powerpoint here.

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 addressing the areas of controversy and confusion.

Taught by one of our new Adjunct Lecturers, Rev Ben Fiddian, the course will run over 10 Tuesday mornings, between 11.00am and 1.00pm, starting on April 29th, and since they are held over zoom you don’t even need to leave home!

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; cost £140
• you can submit assessments – completing an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits; cost £200

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

This module is a study of the biblical teaching on the doctrine of God, focussing on his being, attributes and the Trinity. It is designed to stir our hearts to worship the incomprehensible yet knowable God. As Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said, “There is no doubt but that 99% of our troubles as Christians is that we are ignorant of God.  We spend so much time feeling our own pulse, taking our own spiritual temperature, considering our moods, our states, and fears.   Oh, if we had but had some conception of Him, the inconceivable glory of God.”

Taught by our Principal, Pastor John Brand, this module will be held on 10 Wednesday mornings between 11.00am and 1.00pm.The classes are 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 £140 for the auditing option.

Most Christians are probably familiar with John’s Gospel and his Revelation but probably less so with his three letters which come almost at the end of our New Testament. Yet these three short letters have so much with which to instruct and guide us today.   Each term we try and run one module that is more devotional as well as teaching, and John’s Letters are our choice for the summer term, so if you would like some online devotional fellowship with other believers, why not join us?  The course lecturer is our Principal, Pastor John Brand

The studies will be held on 10 Wednesday mornings from 9.30 – 10.30, starting on April 30th, and since the sessions will be held over zoom, 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 £100, but only £70 for the auditing option.

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

One of the new modules we are offering in the summer term is a study in the two letters to the Corinthians that we have in our Bibles.  According to our Principal, Pastor John Brand, who is teaching this module, these two letters are among the most neglected of our New Testament and yet they contain some of the most practical teaching about church life and some of the most personal insights into the heart and ministry of the Apostle Paul.

The course will be taught over 10 Tuesday afternoons, beginning on 29th April, from 2.00 – 4.00 in the afternoon.    The classes are interactive and held over zoom so WHEREVER you are and WHOEVER you are, you can take advantage of the study.

You have the option to complete assignments and gain study credits or to just audit the course, benefitting from the teaching and study and getting all the materials but not completing assignments.  The cost for the auditing option is £140 and for assessments £200.  Registration is essential and can be done here.

We’re excited to share with you the schedule for the summer term which begins on Monday 28th April.  We have put together a great programme that we are sure will have something to interest you.  Remember that all our teaching is done over interactive virtual classrooms using zoom, so that wherever you are in the world, you can join in and benefit from inspirational teaching and good fellowship.   Additionally, all our classes are open to anyone.  Over the coming days we will post details of each of the subjects, but information about Galatians and New Testament Greek are already available.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us: info@edinburghbiblecollege.co.uk

We haven’t run this course for a while but in the past our introduction to the Biblical languages modules have been among our most popular courses.

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.

This module is a 10 week course which provides a basic introduction to the original language of the New Testament, starting with the basics of alphabet recognition and pronunciation, and working through some introductory grammar and vocabulary.  It is designed to enable reading and understanding of a selection of simple passages from the New Testament and is taught in a very inspirational and interactive way which makes it accessible to absolutely anybody.

The course lecturer is Mr Jamie Gallacher, a Graduate of EBC and also of Highland Theological College

The course starts on Monday 28th April and runs from 7.00 – 9.00pm each week.  It is held over zoom so wherever you are in the world, you can still take part.   The cost for just auditing the course option is £140 and for assessments £200.  Registration is essential and can be done here.

The Board of Edinburgh Bible College are pleased to announce the appointment of Ramone McKenzie to succeed the current principal John Brand as he stands down in 2026.  For the past two years the College has been prayerfully seeking a replacement for John, who has served as Principal unstintingly since the College was founded in 2012.

Ramone currently serves as an elder of the Kirkcaldy Baptist Fellowship in Fife, alongside Rev David Greenaway. Ramone holds a Bachelor in Theology (BTh) and is currently completing his Masters degree (MTh) in 17th Century Scottish Church History. He is excited to be taking up the role of EBC Principal and using his ministry gifts and training.  He says, "I look forward to the challenge ahead and what the Lord chooses to do through the college as we move forward"

Taking up his position in August of this year, Ramone will be working as Vice-Principal alongside John for six months before taking up the role of Principal in its entirety. We look to the Lord for His blessing and provision for the College going forward under Ramone’s leadership.

EBC was established in 2012 under John Brand's leadership, by a group of church leaders who saw a need for a grass roots, church based, strongly biblical training facility.  EBC graduates are now serving in several different countries around the world and there are currently some 45 registered students, about a third of whom are studying by distance learning and the others by involvement in online virtual classrooms.  Our Diploma students are mentored by their local church leaders.  Details of study options and courses available can be found on the College website at www.edinburghbiblecollege.co.uk/titan/
