Pentecostal City Mission Bible Institute desires each person called by God to know, embrace, and pursue what God has called them to do in the Body of Christ. PCMBI is a learning ministry designed to give those called to the ministry the opportunity to help equip yourself, perfect your walk with God, and build the leadership skills God has placed in you. This will be done through in-person instruction, virtual learning platforms, and practical hands-on ministry experiences throughout the program.
We firmly believe setting aside quality time for God, focused on both developing yourself and allowing God to develop you, is crucial in your growth as a Christian and a leader in ministry. Our goal is to develop your confidence in teaching and preaching the Word of God, building on the plan of God for your life while nurturing the gifts of God as you effectively build the lives of God people!

Purpose of the Institute
Pentecostal City Mission Church (International) is proud to announce the launching of Pentecostal City Mission Bible Institute.
The purpose of the Pentecostal City Mission Bible Institute (PCMBI), is to recruit and equip the called out individuals by God with the tools necessary to become the ministers, leaders, pastors, and the teachers God desires within the local church. The Apostle Paul even encourages young Timothy “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also” (II Timothy 2:2).
There is no doubt in this day and age that the need for a grounded Bible Institute is seen as we understand the compromise that plagues our society and churches today. The students of PCMBI will receive sound Biblical doctrinal training and practical ministry skills needed to lead local congregations; teaching them to continue to stand on the Word of God, embrace sound traditional teachings of scripture, and living a life of holiness.
Pentecostal City Mission Bible Institute welcomes members of other like-faith churches to attend our Institute. PCMBI is determined to provide this essential education at a cost affordable and accessible to all students who are interested in pursuing a seminary education and would not traditionally be able to attend because of finance or location.
