[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]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.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” color=”sky” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Its Origin . . .” tab_id=”1551353365854-ee558163-f856″][vc_column_text]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 31^st 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Certificates Awarded” tab_id=”1551353456708-fe69d362-dd2f”][vc_column_text]The Institute awards two categories of certificates, the basic certificate and the leadership certificate.

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. Also, the curriculum serves as a great preparation for church workers and people with a calling to full-time or part-time ministry. The basic certificate curriculum has 15 courses, while the leadership certificate course has 16 courses.

A few of the unique courses offered at the PBI include: The Race of Life, The Pursuit of Vision, Family Affairs, Character Development Healing Rivers, Practical Evangelism, Value systems and Standards, Handling Projects in ministry, Excellence in Ministry, Spiritual Leadership, Purpose and Divine Pattern, Kingdom Entrepreneurship Development, Administration and Management, The Winning Ways of Life

Every session of the school runs for three weeks from Monday to Friday and is inclusive of a practical soul-winning field work. In total, every student of the PBI is exposed to about 84 hours of lectures within the three-week period. Now, that is more than one full year (52 weeks) of attending Sunday services and not missing even one church service in addition to attending 32 mid-week services. You achieve all this within a three-week stretch.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
