Want to go deeper into the Bible but seminary isn't realistic — whether because of cost, time, or simply where you live? BiblicalTraining puts world-class theological education in your hands, completely free.^1
Founded by Dr. Bill Mounce — a Greek scholar, former professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and member of the Committee for Bible Translation (the team behind the NIV) — BiblicalTraining offers over 2,700 hours of instruction across 180+ classes taught by 84 professors from 17 seminaries.^2 The content spans four levels: Basics for those just starting out, Foundations for anyone wanting a deeper understanding, Academy for university-level study, and Institute for full seminary-grade coursework. Topics cover everything from biblical surveys and systematic theology to church history, pastoral ministry, counseling, and spiritual formation.^3
What makes BiblicalTraining feel different from a lecture dump is its emphasis on community. The platform is designed around the idea that people learn best together — in small groups, mentoring relationships, and church settings. Student Guides accompany many classes with outlines and discussion questions, making it easy for a group to listen individually and then meet to talk through what they've learned about God, themselves, and each other.^4 Churches can even create custom landing pages to curate courses for their congregations.^4
Through a partnership with Okanagan Bible College, learners can pursue accredited undergraduate and graduate theological degrees using BiblicalTraining's curriculum — at a fraction of typical seminary costs.^5
