The Urban Bible Training Center (UBTC) program is a cooperative effort of Berean School of the Bible and the Assemblies of God U.S. Missions. UBTC classes are typically conducted in a local church facility and are designed as an educational program for area church members already involved in ministry in their churches. This program was originally designed for urban settings, but is being used effectively in all kinds of communities across the U.S.
Urban Bible Training Center classes (16 interactive class hours per course) are led by approved facilitators and each student is assigned an approved mentor. Students who complete Year One and Year Two classes (see curriculum) and participate in local ministry and mentoring as monitored by their local UBTC are awarded a Berean School of the Bible Diploma in Urban Bible Training.
Students who have completed the UBTC program should possess the necessary Bible knowledge, ministry skills, and spiritual character to minister in any local church and community setting. All of the UBTC diploma program courses apply toward fulfilling educational requirements for ministerial credentials with the Assemblies of God. Additional Berean School of the Bible courses needed to complete these requirements for ministerial credentials are the responsibility of each individual student. UBTC directors can advise students regarding enrollment and study opportunities to complete ministerial credentialing requirements.
