Using BTCP’s concept and curriculum
BTCP works alongside over 300 strategic partners, providing theological training in approximately 100 countries, with a curriculum translated into over 40 languages.
By partnering with Bible Training Centre for Pastors you, your church, or ministry will gain access to the BTCP concept and curriculum. In order to gain the maximum benefit from the BTCP curriculum, it is important to fully understand our life-on-life concept of training. The Partner Orientation/ Teacher Training Workshop is the place to gain this understanding.
Partnering Criteria:
You must be in significant agreement with our doctrinal statement. If you have any questions about whether your stance falls outside of “significant agreement," we’ll be glad to discuss it with you. For instance, we permit a fair amount of flexibility regarding eschatology, but very little in Christology.
You or a representative of the partnering ministry must attend a Partner Orientation/ Teacher Training Workshop. These 2-day events let us meet face-to-face and will help you fully understand the concept, curriculum and guidelines which make up the BTCP program.

The goal of Bible Training Centre for Pastors is to produce pastors and leaders who will be used by God to contribute to the spiritual growth of the local church and thus bring glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Four key passages underscore the Bible’s emphasis on training and equipping:
Matthew 28:18-20 - The Mandate
2 Timothy 3:15-17 - The Means
Ephesians 4:11-13 - The Method
2 Timothy 2:1-2 - The Model
Do you share the common purpose of training pastors and church leaders who will then reproduce in the lives of others?
Are you committed to producing “fruit that will last”? That is, are you committed to train nationals, conduct on-going teacher evaluation, and encourage graduates in their ministries?
If so, we invite you to consider partnering with us to train the untrained. As you have read, our ministry is built on an Ephesians 4 model. That is, we equip those whom the Lord has given to His church that they might “prepare God’s people for works of service.”
