BACKGROUND OF ELYON BIBLE INSTITUTE

El-yon Bible Institute (EBI) was established in February 1997, operating in its former name, Insight Theological Seminary. This institution is not controlled by any church but operates independently. It has its management structures comprising pastors and other highly qualified Board members and lecturers who hold post-graduate degrees in Theology and other fields.

This Institution came into existence as a result of a great need of training in Christian Education and church leadership among Christian circles. Since its inception, El-yon Bible Institute has trained more than 500 Christian workers of whom many are ordained pastors and others are in other sections of service within His Vineyard.

Not all who come for learning will be pastors. Some come purely for knowledge of God’s Word and when the complete here they are very well advanced in God’s Word and His work.

EBI had submitted its accreditation application with the Quality Council For Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and is still awaiting response. QCTO is a wing of the government to ensure that institutions of learning are delivering quality training and are adhering by the laws that govern learning within South Africa. 
 

WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO BIBLE COLLEGES?

The mushrooming of churches came with an increased demand that the body of Christ never had before. God had stirred up the hearts of many of his servants that some of them founded churches far before they could even be trained in Theology and Ministry.

They lead big churches and are followed by many people. Many of these church leaders (and other serving Christian workers within the church) have no qualifications and basic training. Yet they passionately render great services to the Lord even if they do not have needed skills and knowledge.

In addition to that, there are other service workers within the body of Christ who are also keen to serve the Lord. These are Sunday school teachers (commonly called Children Ministry Teachers), youth pastors, women ministry leaders, assistant pastors and elders.

There are yet many other Christians who are exceedingly thirsty for the knowledge of God’s Word with no intention to pastor or serve as preachers. This Institution was founded with the sole aim of meeting such needs so that people may have knowledge in matters that pertain to the Creator and the service of Him who calls His servants to serve in His Vineyard.
