Church Bible College

What is a Resource Centre?

A Vision Resource Centre is a "Local Church Bible College" or "Ministry Training Centre", run by the local church and its ministry team using the resources of Vision Christian College.

Our purpose is to assist in the task of “Equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the Body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12).

• Students enjoy the benefit of local ministry team teaching them while they are a part of a world-wide network of over 150,000 students.
• Assists the local church in preparing leaders for service in their church and community.
• Provides the local church with legitimate, powerful, faith building and empowering material that is accepted and recognised.
• Offers a variety of education programs from our network of colleges and universities to meet the specific needs of your church and community.
• We provide the curriculum, handle the student records, mark the papers and issue awards and provide international recognition and covering.
• The Church enjoys the benefits of a trained and equipped body capable of meeting the local ministry needs.
• No longer must your men and women be sent away to be trained for ministry!

When you become a Resource Centre students in your program also become distance education students of Vision. They study under your local supervision, using the dynamic curriculum developed by Vision.

Vision International College is accredited by ASQA throughout Australia to issues awards to the level of Advanced Diploma of Chrisitan Ministry and Theology by distance education. Students of Vision Resource Centre are able to continue their studies through any of the Vision College options through to the Doctorate level.

• A Resource Centre does not require a large facility or large numbers of staff.
• A minimum of one lecture room and one lecturer is required at any time as all students from 1st to 4th year can undertake the same subject at the same time.
• The overheads to the Resource Centre are minimized and the benefits of a collective student body are maximized while the lecturer also has the satisfaction of teaching to a larger student body.
• We encourage Resource Centre's to allow new students to join the Resource Centre at any time that a new subject is commencing.
