Theological education and discipleship are not different things. In reality, theological education is concentrated on discipleship. This discipleship aims to help another believer conform to the image of Christ and to influence those whom God has called to leadership within the local church. We believe that the college is an excellent place for the local church and the college to train effective workers for the local church and full-time ministry.
By balancing sound doctrinal teaching with practical methodology, we believe that the students and graduates of VBBC will enhance the ministry of any local church in which they serve. Our lecturers are experienced in local church ministry and bring to the classroom a wealth of knowledge drawn from practical Christian living. Our study courses have been developed to challenge and encourage our students to achieve academic excellence while they find numerous outlets for practical application. Victoria Baptist Bible College strives to meet the need for trained men and women who can minister effectively in their local church.
Because of a need to train effective workers both for the full-time Christian ministry and local church ministries, classes began on 12 February 1973 under the auspices of Baptist Mid-Missions. Since that time, Victoria Baptist Bible College has been committed to strengthening the local church. We desire to see many of our graduates serve within the local church as pastors, teachers, deacons, and a variety of other Christian ministries. VBBC also wishes to prepare men and women for service on the foreign field as missionaries sent out by their local church. Victoria Baptist Bible College invites you to come and train to serve the Lord.
How many lives do we have? While a cat is sometimes said to have nine, we have only one life to live, and that life should be lived for God. If we focus only on the here and now, we profit nothing because it will all pass away. We must live for eternal values. Our goal at VBBC is to equip men and women to serve in the local church. We want to see God's servants effectively proclaiming the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ to their community and the world.
