Missions Bible Colleges - SaBC (Seminaries and Bible Colleges)

Missions Bible colleges, also known as Bible colleges for missionaries, are colleges with a specific focus on training new Christian missionaries, Christian missionary pastors and other Christian missionary leaders to begin to work in the missionary field. These colleges offer training in both theological studies as well as Christian field work studies.

The goal of these colleges is to get students prepared to be theologically and professionally trained as: Christian church planters, Christian humanitarian workers, Christian aid workers, Christian aid coordinators and foreign Christian crisis advocates and counselors.

While there is a strong focus on international Christian ministry work, many of these colleges afford high level missionary training for domestic missions as well. Most of these Missions Bible colleges offer a three-tiered education platform that includes certificate, associate degree and bachelor’s degree missionary programs for domestic and foreign students who wish to enter this exciting field of bringing God to some of the world’s most impoverished and destitute peoples.
