Choosing Your Course


The Open Bible Institute offers a range of courses in biblical studies and practical ministry. All are biblical, all are useful to people serving in the local church. So, where should you start? Which course is right for you, right now?

Starting out: If you are new to studying or serving in the local church then why not start with Introduction to the Bible (the first module in the Moore College Correspondence Course) or the short course in Christian Mission and Ministry? Both these courses lay a great foundation for future ministry and study. Neither commit you to a long period of study.

Getting an overview: If you are looking a broad overview of the Bible, theology and church history then why not enrol on the Moore College Correspondence Course? Module by module you gradually work your way through the Scriptures and the development of the church. Ideal for home group leaders, youth group leaders, people starting out in preaching and anyone who simply wants to get to know their Bible better.

Fast and focused: It may be that you already have a good grounding in biblical studies and simply want to equip yourself for a particular area of service in the local church: administration, pastoral care, preaching or youth and children's work. If that sounds like you, then you could think about enrolling on a Short Course in practical ministry skills.
