He who supplies the Spirit…
Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
– Galatians 3:5 (NKJV)
What CBC Offers
The Word of God challenges, stretches and changes lives when it is heard and received by faith and then applied. Coventry Bible College runs on a part-time basis over a period of two years. Level 1, Bible Studies Diploma, consists of 24 subjects taught with a spirit of faith.
On successful completion of Level 1, there is a Level 2 Advanced Diploma in Ministry for those who desire to continue with their studies. This runs on the same basis as Level 1, part-time over a two-year period with a further 24 subjects.
Our sincere desire is to help equip and strengthen members from across the whole body of Christ to walk in the fullness of all that God has for them and to train them for the effective work of the ministry in whichever area God has called them to function.

CBC aims to strengthen local churches so we require all students to be a committed member of a local church. There is a Minister’s referral form to be completed by your church minister. This is an entry requirement for CBC students. Students must also complete 100 hours of helps ministry in their local church during their studies at CBC. Students are not permitted to move churches whilst studying at CBC. Applying for any new course can often be quite daunting so if you have any questions about completing the forms, then please contact our office on 024 7767 8523 or email us at info@coventrybiblecollege.org for further information.
It is important that each student receives a good understanding of “what he believes” and “why he believes it. ”Focus is very much centred on and around our core values, our DNA if you like, of faith, the believer’s authority and being led by the Holy Spirit. You will receive a student manual and have any questions answered. You must pay your registration fee and arrange for the Standing Order for the required monthly amount to be paid.

Testimonials
"Throughout my first year and second year in Coventry Bible College, the experience was great.
The lecturer and content that were available are excellent tools for an individual to utilize within
any ministry they are pursuing.
I would highly recommend any person to consider attending Coventry Bible College".
"My experience with Coventry Bible College has not been good for my spiritual development, but it has
also helped me to encounter God even more. I believe Coventry Bible College has provided me with a
good foundation and prepared me for the opportunitites God has for me out in the real world.
The highest benefits of Coventry Bible College are not limited to earning knowledge, but also to take
everything I have learned through this program and put it into practice in every moment of my life".
"As a Coventry Bible student, I find myself enjoying learning from
the lectures and textbooks. I often discuss what I've read
in the books or what I have learned from the lectures in everyday conversation. Coventry Bible College
classes feed my intellectual side as well as my spirit. They refresh me with new ways of thinking about
leadership, servant-hood, and discipleship. Any answers to questions I have are a question away and I
can email and ask my lecturers who are glad to answer them with understanding
and joy. Coventry Bible College has trained my mind for ministry, missions, worship, counselling, youth
ministry, or general ministry. I believe it mimics the ministry of Jesus, it is designed to meet people
where they are, then help develop the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed for success".
"Over the past two years I've had the priviege enjoying inspiring spirit led lecturers and teaching in
Coventry Bible College and decide to go for level two. My experience with
Coventry Bible College is unlike any other schooling experience. The classes are set up in such a way that
fits my busy schedule. I can hand in assignments with convincing, as opposed to having an unrealistic
deadline. When I am juggling Bible College and five other things including work and family, it really
makes a difference. I was not sure how I would cope but the College provides flexibility and amazing
support. I am able to afford fees and my faith keeps growing as I encounter all these teachings and
experiences. Another thing that has stood out to me is the fact that instructors really make an effort to
keep God first and in center of all they teach. Each lecture I attended was kind of like a sense of sorts.
With each lecture, I felt like I was being poured into instead of just being sat in a class to learn the
material for the class. Coventry Bible College has been nothing short of excellence".
"I wanted to say thank you to John and Sally for listening to God's voice to start and maintain Coventry
Bible College. The way you arrange and set up the college Lectures, handing in assignments, ensuring I
am involved in ministry in my local church, installment payment for fees, accessing missed lectures as
recorded audio, bringing in visiting speakers who have years of ministry experience and walk with the
Lord, personal support you provide and much more to me, is self-motivating and perfectly suited for me.
I truly enjoyed my experience is Coventry Bible College"
"I have come to LOVE CBC. In school, I was never a very academic student.
I struggled with a lot of things because I never had a very good memory. Tests and quizzes were VERY
hard for me in school because I just could not retain information. In CBC was such a good choice for me
because you work really well with me and especially your schedule which has spaced three week Bible
College weekend and exams that are mostly simple and intended to emphasis spiritual growth rather
than mental knowledge only. I came to Coventry Bible College to grow spiritually and I am seeing that
happen in my daily lifestyle. I was excited because it was going to be perfect as I will know what God's
will is rather than my ambitions. I am learning SO MUCH from these classes and it is definitely preparing
me for what's to come. I'm really, really happy with Coventry Bible College and I couldn't ask for a better
spiritual schooling that is for sure."
"Coventry Bible college has been absolutely wonderful! I started classes and absolutely fell in love with
the easy to understand teaching,
the lectures, and the schedule. I look forward to every new class! The team at Coventry Bible College is
so great, constantly working to help you in whatever way that you need, and make sure that these
classes are providing growth and edification. All the lecturers are so engaging. DVDs and visiting
speakers add extra inspiration. Another thing that I love about them is how personal they are. There
aren't many colleges that will work to encourage you as much as CBC lecturers are. This year has been
awesome within CBC, I'm absolutely loving how well it has been and I definitely plan to continue my
studies with CBC to Level 2. I recommend CBC especially for those who are want to grow in the thinksof
God and for those going into the ministry, because it has helped me so much to prepare for what I
amcalled to do. Also for those who are not going to full time ministry, you will still get a wonderful
experience and a great equipping and exposure to the word of god. Thank you so much CBC, you guys
are great."
"My experience with Coventry Bible College has been amazing! I have taken away so much new
information that I currently use in my own personal ministry.
As I read the required books for each class and took exams I found out interesting facts that I may have
originally looked over. The lectures allow me to hear deeper TRUTH on different topics and subjects
from the class.
As I grow with Christ, Coventry Bible College is providing me with the tools that I need in order to share
the Gospel with the world! I am extremely thankful for that!"
"Personally, coming from a background like mine, I never once thought that I would
be able to go to a Bible College and actually learn anything. Just thinking about it would get me a little
down. Then, through a friend, I learned about Coventry Bible College. Knowing that I could do 2 years of
Bible College and get ready to walk in faith and go into ministry made me so excited. I despised and had
a low opinion about the Bible college and thought it was not for me. Never, in a million
years, did I ever think that I would be in this position-in the Bible College!!!
I was one of those the Bible said "But the natural man does not recieve the things of the Spirit of God,
for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. " 1.
Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)
Knowing that I can make a difference and get trained for it in an affordable manner and at a decent
pace; I thought "why not?" It is now clear to me that God know the end from the beginning.."
