Since its establishment in 1957, Durban Bible College has been committed to equipping pastors, church leaders, ministry workers, and disciple-makers for both local and global ministry. In recent years, the student body has shifted significantly from predominantly Indian and Coloured students to a growing number of Black students, however, many Black communities in South Africa continue to face systemic socio-economic disadvantages that limit their access to quality theological education, ministry resources and leadership development.
In 2023, Durban Bible College strategically relocated to central Durban, creating greater opportunities to reach a diverse population, particularly untrained ministry workers and church planters. This project aligns with the urgent need to provide accessible theological education to those who are marginalized socio-economically and with church structures that are unable to support them.
This project will
- Assist DBC in offering accessible and affordable theological education and ministry training that brings Biblical nurture, sound teaching, and practical ministry skills to untrained pastors and church workers.
- Strengthen and equip the church by addressing false teachings and syncretism in areas where Biblically trained and evangelical leaders are lacking.
- Empower disadvantaged leaders by equipping them to serve effectively in their local communities, fostering Biblically grounded, self-sustaining churches that can disciple others and advance the Gospel.
