PENTECOSTAL TEMPLE BIBLE INSTITUTE (PTBI)
Pentecostal Temple
Bible Institute does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or
ethnic origin in the administration of admissions, educational policies, or
certificate programs.
About PTBI
PTBI is an extension of Logos
Christian College and Graduate Schools founded in 1978 in Jacksonville,
Florida, as well as an independent educational ministry of our local church. To
learn more about Logos Christian Graduate School, you may visit www.logos.edu.
PTBI provides ministry leaders with a
comprehensive understanding of scriptural text and develops theological
interpretation based on the original intent of the inspiration. After
undergoing our intense training, students will leave fully equipped to minister
to the Body of Christ and the world, in the new millennium church.
Our
Method
Our method is "To provide
quality, non-traditional education at an affordable price through educators who
work in excellence, integrity, honesty and creativity according to the needs of
the students." PTBI is committed to helping you learn to lead a
spirit-led life.
Experience the
PTBI Difference!
The Traditional method of obtaining a
theological education requires large quantities of time and financial resources,
thus making this goal unattainable for many. At PTBI, we make seminary
accessible to students by providing them the opportunity to affordably obtain a
certificate or diploma in Biblical Studies.

resident and adjunct faculty.

understand and more wisely handle the sacred scriptures (I Tim 4:6-16)

Sunday
School Becomes
Life
School
The
2005-06 Sunday School season “kick-off” is an exciting
time at
Pentecostal
Temple
. Pastor Brown has cast a broad vision for our Sunday School
ministry this year by making it interactive and more
relevant to students of every age and life experience.
“I believe Sunday School is a great ministry tool that has
been underutilized in our ministry for the past eight years.
I want to make Sunday School a “life school” for our
students, parents, visitors and community.
This
year registration begins for the students to qualify for the
Education Initiative the Pastor announced on the fourth
Sunday in August. Pastor Brown envisions having the largest
Sunday School in New York Western Second COGIC.
Sunday
School Classes are mirrored after the secular school grades.
Elementary, Middle School and High School students will have
relevant-up to date teaching on biblical principles and life
skills in the new Sunday School Program. There will be
classes for College Students, Single Parents, Married
Couples, Music Ministry, Seniors and Ministry Workers to
ensure everyone has a place to grow and learn as we apply
biblical truths to real life circumstances. “Sunday School
in this church will be life school,” the pastor said.
