What else will I do on campus?

You will be involved in a number of practical ministry opportunities. You’ll be expected to put your hand to the wheel as you scan the hoizon because we believe that bible Training is not just books, lectures and exams. At the Bible Institute we prepare men and women for servanthood ministry – and that takes a lot of practice – just ask any person in fulltime christian work.  So as a student, whether you live on or off campus, you will take part in BISA’s Open Day, Gardening Days, the annual FunTrail Run, Missions Events & prayer times, Ministry Week (could be outside of Cape Town) and attendance at chapel services as well as being part of a weekly fellowship group. But you’re not alone here, the lecturers and most of the staff are doing it with you.

In order to experience Christian Community life and benefit from the multi-cultural ethos at the Bible Institute, residence on-campus, although not compulsory, is encouraged.

It promises to be a life-changing experience!

The Bible Institute is small enough to operate as a family (OK, a large family)

but big enough to give you exposure to many cultures and nationalities

on campus as well as ministry opportunities in several fields.

We wish you well in your application – we’ve been praying for you already.
