Further Training

Once you have successfully completed your DTS, we want to help propel you into whatever season, occupation, or sphere of society the Lord is calling you into.

If you feel God is leading you to continue growing as a missionary, we have further training and ministries to look into to fit your passions, gifts and skill sets. We want to help grow those passions, as well as fostering leadership skills and creating an environment to help expand your capacity as a leader and missionary. 

Check out the further training options we offer and dive into a new season of growth with us! 

  • Let God’s truths transform your life.

    What’s the BCC about?

    The Bible was written for us... but not to us. So, how do we apply it to our lives today?

    The BCC equips you with the tools to answer this question. It teaches you how to discover the original meaning of the Scriptures through careful observation of the text and skilled research of the historical setting. As you discover what the Bible meant to its original readers and hearers, you gain a deeper understanding of what it means for you, how you can apply it to your own life, and how you can share its truths with the world around your sphere.
