Pacesetters’ Bible Institute

The Pacesetters Bible Institute (PBI) was established as the Leadership training arm of the Pacesetters Christian Assembly and in fulfilment of our vision which is: “To raise a new generation of Pacesetting Christians who will promote good works in a corrupt world“. The foundation of this vision can be found in Titus 2:14. The referenced scripture, talking about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, says, “Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

The PBI is fully committed to the vision of raising leaders, trailblazers and pathfinders who will set the pace and raise the standard for others to follow. The Institute has been formed to raise role models in Pacesetters and in the society in all areas of life and endeavour including Ministry, Evangelism, Business, Career, etc.

Its Origin . . .

The school was established in October 2010. The very first set of students that were admitted into the Institute commenced lectures on October 11, 2010. This first edition lasted 3 weeks culminating in the first graduation ceremony on the 31st October, 2010. Many of this first set of graduands are pastors, deacons, deaconesses and other categories of ordained workers both within Pacesetters Christian Assembly and in other ministries. Today, six years after, hundreds of students have been graduated and many lives have been totally transformed. Many of the PBI graduands include university students, church workers, business men and women, full-time ministers of the gospel, etc.

Certificates Awarded

The Institute awards three categories of certificates, the Basic Certificate, the Leadership Certificate and Diploma Certificate. The Basic course runs three times in a year in February, April and August. The leadership course, on the other hand, runs twice in the year, in February and April, respectively and the Diploma runs once a year in August.

The courses cover spiritual growth and empowerment, finances, relationships and marriage, business and entrepreneurship, principles for discovery of purpose and potentials, and principles for success and all-round prosperity in life.
