The Center(s) for Biblical Studies, is a quality Bible Learning Center which we provide materials for on a mission field. We cover all the expenses for translating the materials for the local Church or Ministry, and its leadership is responsible to operate it.  These Biblical Education Centers are owned and operated by the Local Ministry Leaders themselves.  This program has been simplified and is easy to operate.

Basic Overview

Planting Biblical Studies Centers anywhere in the world is very possible with today’s technology. Charnock Institute of the Bible and White Stone Missions have partnered to place Biblical Studies Centers around the world. The curriculum reflects that which is used at Charnock Institute of the Bible. It is fully self-contained, meaning that once the curriculum arrives, the location has ownership over it and all the materials needed to make and operate a real Bible College or Seminary, Biblical Studies Center, Ministry Training Center, or Discipleship Training Center a reality. We have students currently awaiting the arrival of these items in their own language to begin their education.

How does it work?

The college uses the existing ministry buildings as its facilities. A ministry must designate a Director and/or Proctor. The pastor, missionary, or their appointee(s) simply issue materials and grade any tests they choose to give. Students are required to participate in ministry 5-10 hours per week, serving alongside Missionaries or Church staff. The student’s Church directly benefits from their education and service.

Many nations and locations do not need more missionaries (as strange as this might sound). They need the capability of training up their own Pastors, Missionaries, Bible Teachers and Church Planters in their native languages. This is where we come in. We provide the materials needed for this training in the native language. We do not send money; rather we translate the materials into the native language. They own and operate the Bible Centers (for free if they wish). These Centers are owned and operated by those who minister there.  While we are not against actual Missionaries, since we ourselves equip and send out missionaries, we understand that in many locations the Church has been planted and the need is for their own Christian leaders.

What are the costs?

Materials Are Used Again and Again

Once a Center for Biblical Studies is running, there are no additional costs.  The men who live and minister in the country, will own and operate and be responsible for the Center.  We ask that they look directly to God to provide their financial needs. Scripture teaches that it is the responsibility of the people of God to support their Pastors and other Church Leaders.

All materials can be accessed through this site. Simply select the language and download the materials.

No Cost Comparison

There is no way to place missionaries on the mission field to educate students to become Pastors, Professors, or Missionaries for this price. The use a location’s existing facilities and Bible-believing people to continue to work with students in a discipleship context is key. We just add the curriculum to what they’re already doing to take their discipleship to a whole new level at no cost to them.
