Exchange Fellowship Bible College

Study the Word. Strengthen Your Faith. Step Into Your Calling.

Exchange Fellowship Bible College is a ministry of Exchange Fellowship Church, created to equip believers with a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a stronger foundation for life and ministry. Whether you’re preparing for full-time ministry, seeking to grow in your personal walk with Christ, or simply hungry to know the Bible more deeply — this is the place for you.

We believe that the study of Scripture should be both systematic and Spirit-led. Our Bible College offers a structured curriculum that explores the full counsel of God — from Genesis to Revelation — while cultivating spiritual maturity, character, and a heart for service.

What We Offer

– Biblical Foundations: Learn the core doctrines of the Christian faith and how to apply them in everyday life.

– Practical Ministry Training: Be equipped to serve in your church, community, and beyond with confidence and clarity.

– Spirit-Filled Learning Environment: Grow in the knowledge of the Word and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

– Flexible Learning: Courses designed to accommodate your schedule, whether you’re a student, working professional, or ministry leader.

Our Core Values in Action

At the heart of our Bible College are the same values that shape everything we do at EFC:

– Disciple — We train believers to become mature disciples who can disciple others.

– Reach — We prepare students to share the Gospel boldly and effectively in every sphere of life.

– Serve — We cultivate a heart of humility and service, equipping students to meet real needs with Christlike compassion.

– Fellowship — We foster a community of learners who grow together in faith, accountability, and love.

Why Bible College?

Because the world needs believers who are rooted in truth, filled with the Spirit, and ready to lead. Exchange Fellowship Bible College is more than a classroom — it’s a launching pad for Kingdom impact.

“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)

Our Goals

At Exchange Fellowship Bible College, our mission is to equip believers with the knowledge, character, and spiritual maturity needed to fulfill God’s calling on their lives. Our goals reflect a deep commitment to biblical truth, practical ministry, and Kingdom impact:

  1. Deepen Biblical Understanding

We provide believers with the opportunity to study the Bible in a structured, academic setting — going beyond Sunday sermons and weekly Bible studies to explore the depth and breadth of Scripture with clarity and conviction.

  1. Prepare for Ministry and Calling

We train students to serve according to God’s unique calling — whether as pastors, teachers, missionaries, educators, or counselors. Our curriculum is designed to develop both theological insight and spiritual leadership.

  1. Empower for Practical Impact

We offer hands-on, biblically grounded training that equips students to reach their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, serve those in need, and apply the Word of God in everyday life.

Exchange Fellowship Bible College is more than a place of learning — it’s a place of transformation!

Who Should Attend?

Exchange Fellowship Bible College is open to all who desire to grow deeper in the Word of God and walk boldly in their calling. This program is designed for:

– Those seeking academic-level Bible study

Individuals who want to study Scripture with greater depth and structure beyond Sunday sermons and weekly Bible studies.

– Those called to Preach or Teach the Bible

Aspiring ministers, teachers, and communicators of the Word who desire to be equipped with sound doctrine and practical tools.

– Those called to Pastoral Ministry

Believers who sense a pastoral calling and want to be trained to shepherd others with wisdom, humility, and biblical authority.

– Those called to Evangelism or Missions

Passionate followers of Christ who are ready to reach the lost, serve cross-culturally, and carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Who We’re Looking For

Exchange Fellowship Bible College is designed for those who are not only eager to learn, but also ready to live out the truth of God’s Word with purpose and passion. A typical EFC Bible College student embodies the following qualities:

– A believer in Jesus Christ and a practicing Christian

Someone who has a personal relationship with Jesus and is committed to walking in His ways.

– Completed high school education

Prepared for academic study and eager to grow in biblical knowledge and understanding.

– Called by God to serve

Sensing a divine calling to ministry — whether as a pastor, teacher, missionary, counselor, or servant-leader in any area of Kingdom work.

– Actively serving in a local church

Faithfully involved in ministry under the guidance and covering of pastoral leadership, demonstrating humility, accountability, and a heart to serve.

If this describes you, we believe God may be calling you to take the next step.

Exchange Fellowship Bible College is here to walk with you, equip you, and release you into the fullness of your calling.
