Proclaiming Truth, Preparing Servants<\/p>

You are not called to grow alone. Whether you are beginning your journey in faith or preparing for ministry, you have a place here.<\/p>

Amen Bible College exists to serve Tamil-speaking believers across Europe with sound biblical teaching and a life shaped by the Word of God.<\/p>

We are a theological community – not simply a place of study. Through systematic instruction in Scripture, we equip men and women with theological understanding, spiritual discipline, and moral integrity, so that Christ’s character is reflected in their personal lives, their homes, and their churches. We do not teach to fill the mind alone; we teach so that the hands are made ready and the whole life is offered back to God in service.<\/p>

Our students come from many nations, many congregations, and many walks of life. Some are taking their first serious steps in the faith. Others already carry the weight of ministry and seek to serve with greater depth and confidence. All of them learn together, because spiritual growth happens within a community of believers who encourage, strengthen, and refine one another. No one is left to work out their calling in isolation \u2014 the Lord Himself placed us in a body, and it is within that body that we are built up.<\/p>

This is why our calling is held together in a single word of Scripture:<\/p>

\u201cAnd he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.\u201d
Ephesians 4:11\u201312
<\/span><\/div>

Here is the whole of who we are. God gives teachers so that truth may be proclaimed.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision is to proclaim and teach the Word of God through the ministry of the college, with a special focus on Europe and the growing Tamil-speaking community.<\/p>

We seek to raise up leaders who are equipped to live a Godly life, serve faithfully in divine ministry, and demonstrate a strong and committed Christian witness.<\/p>

We also look ahead to the generation now growing up across Europe. Our young people are being formed in the languages of the countries they call home, and the Word of God must reach them in the language in which they think, pray, and live.<\/p>

For this reason we are committed to teaching in English, French, German, and Italian<\/strong>, alongside Tamil<\/strong> for our Tamil-speaking community – so that no believer, of any age, is kept at a distance from the truth by language.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our purpose is to equip and nurture believers within Tamil-speaking churches across Europe to become true disciples of Jesus Christ<\/span> – grounded in Scripture, mature in character, and ready to serve.<\/p>\n
We pursue this in four ways.<\/p>\n
We build a foundation in the Word.<\/strong> We teach the whole counsel of God systematically, so that believers are not dependent on borrowed opinions but can read, understand, and rightly handle Scripture for themselves. True faith arises from a proper understanding of the Bible, and so we give ourselves to teaching it faithfully and clearly.<\/p>\n
We form character, not only knowledge.<\/strong> Biblical learning is meant to be lived. Alongside academic study we encourage spiritual discipline, moral integrity, and a growing likeness to Christ – in the home, in the workplace, and in the church. Knowledge that does not lead to obedience has not yet done its work.<\/p>\n
We serve the local church.<\/strong> Our students belong to congregations, and it is to those congregations that they return. We prepare pastors, lay leaders, teachers, worship servants, and faithful members who strengthen the ministries already entrusted to them, and we work in partnership with churches and their leaders rather than apart from them.<\/p>\n
We prepare the next generation.<\/strong> Many of our young people are growing up between two worlds – rooted in a Tamil heritage, yet living, studying, and worshiping in European societies. We are committed to teaching them in the languages in which they think and pray – English, French, German, and Italian<\/strong> – alongside Tamil<\/strong> for our Tamil-speaking community, so that they take hold of the same faith as their parents with clarity and conviction, and carry it forward as their own.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

To help individuals discover their God-given purpose and calling in a rapidly changing world\u00a0 through a complete pathway of study that receives a believer wherever they stand and carries them as far as God calls them: from the Certificate in Lay Leadership<\/strong> and the Certificate in Youth Ministry<\/strong>, through the Certificate in Ministry<\/strong> and the Diploma in Theology<\/strong>, to the Bachelor of Theology<\/strong> and onward to the Master in Pastoral Ministry<\/strong>.<\/p>
To equip pastors, missionaries, and church workers with depth as well as devotion<\/strong> – our Bachelor of Theology is a three-year undergraduate program for those who intend to be fully equipped for ministry, developing skills of exegesis, interpretation, and application of Scripture to real life, and the capacity to reflect theologically on contemporary issues in local and global contexts.<\/p>
To uphold recognised standards in theological education<\/strong> – in partnership with Alpha Omega International College (Malaysia), every certificate, diploma, and degree we award is accredited by the Asia Theological Association (ATA)<\/strong>, so that what is offered to God is prepared with diligence and care, and credits earned here are transferable to equivalent institutions.<\/p>
To guide believers in integrating biblical principles for faithful living within a pluralistic society<\/strong> – so that a biblical worldview governs our thinking, our speech, and our conduct, in a Europe where believers must live their faith among many competing convictions.<\/p>
To provide a Christ-centred community grounded in a sound understanding of Scripture<\/strong> , where academic rigour is balanced with confidence and personal maturity, and where each class becomes a community in which we care for one another, show love, and support each other in prayer.<\/p>
To root our teaching in the Pentecostal faith we confess<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes that the Holy Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the verbally inspired Word of God. It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and is the final and sole authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things, holy, sovereign, and worthy of all worship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes that Jesus Christ<\/span> is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return personally and visibly to judge the living and the dead. Salvation is found in Him alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes that man was created in the image of God, but through Adam\u2019s disobedience all humanity fell into sin. As a result, every person is born with a sinful nature and stands under God\u2019s judgment, unable to save himself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Those who repent of sin and trust in Christ are justified, born again by the Holy Spirit, adopted into God\u2019s family, and receive eternal life. Good works are the fruit, not the cause, of salvation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes the Church is the Body of Christ, composed of all true believers. The local church is to practice biblical teaching, fellowship, worship, evangelism, and discipleship. Christ has given two ordinances for the Church: believer\u2019s baptism by immersion and the Lord\u2019s Supper.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes Christ has commissioned the Church to make disciples of all nations by preaching the Gospel, baptizing believers, and teaching them to obey all that Christ commanded. We are called to meet human needs with compassion and to pursue justice and mercy in the world.\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amen Bible College believes in two ordinances instituted by Christ:
1. Baptism - the immersion of a believer in water as a public testimony of faith in Christ and union with Him in His death and resurrection.
2. The Lord\u2019s Supper - a memorial of Christ\u2019s death, proclaiming His sacrifice until He comes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant instituted by God between one man and one woman for life. God designed marriage to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. Therefore, we affirm that marriage is to be permanent, exclusive, and entered into with biblical fidelity. Hence we affirm that divorce and extra marital affairs are sins against the moral law of God.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
