From the President
Your destiny is not your decision but your discovery. Do have a dream? It does exist. The dream has been there from the day of your existence. King David informed us that God knew us from the beginning of existence and has written his plans for us in a Book. “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalms 139:16 NIV).
Come to the School of Biblical Theology to break into the supernatural to unlock and discover the key that God has written in the Book about you. This school is the place where destinies are made, destinies are changed, and destinies are fulfilled. YOUR DESTINY IS WAITING!
The vision of The School of Biblical Theology is to take the teachings of Jesus to a new level of experience so that when you complete your course of study, whether you stay a few months or longer, you will be able to articulate the Gospel in a demonstration of God’s power. As Jesus said, you will do the greater works and you will do them in the power and anointing of His spirit!
God is calling you to look beyond your limitations, beyond your failures and beyond your man-made goals to see the awesome spiritual destiny He has planned for you! Regardless of who you are, God has a specific plan and purpose for your life. There are specific things and events He planned to take place in your life and he has specific plans He wants to accomplish through you.
