Elder Enid Stewart
Principal of RCBI
We at RCBI are committed to serving the Body of Christ by developing
Christian Disciples who:
Are filled with the Word of God;
Can earnestly contend for the faith (Jude 1:3);
Can rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15);
Are equipped with the Sword of the Spirit to defend against the
enemy’s attacks (Ephesians 6:10-18);
Can take up their positions as labourers in the Lord’s harvest
(Matthew 9:37-38).
We desire to equip, educate, develop and grow believers in the
knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, so that they can
apply the Word in their daily lives, and advance the Kingdom for
the Glory of God.

2 Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”

Reasons to apply for a RCBI Course
Student Testimonials
Sheldon Lewis 2018 CPT Graduate
“I feel more confident about
being a Christian. I've gained
more confidence and
understanding of the Word,
greater knowledge of the
history of the Bible. I was able
to work on my spiritual
strengths and weakness”.
Julia Douglas-Burton 2018 CPT Graduate
“The course has helped me
immensely and to overcome my
struggles. I have not only gained
theological knowledge but I
have been able to apply the
Word to my life. I have become
more disciplined, organised,
and gained in confidence. The
modules are rich, enlightening
and empowering. I strongly
recommend studying the CPT
Course”.
Joshua Aryiku 2018 CPT Graduate
“The CPT course has been
part of my journey of growth. I
think every believer should
attend Bible school and it’s
not just for people that want to
go into ministry, everybody
can learn something! “
Janet Stanley-Brooks 2018 CPT Graduate
“The CPT course has given
me a more in-depth insight
and understanding of the
Word of God, my faith has
increased and also my
knowledge”.
Marian Thomas 2018 CPT Graduate
“The CPT course has
impacted my life to apply the
Word of God believing and
trusting Him. It has opened up
my spiritual understanding to
gain even more knowledge in
God. I faced challenges, but I
can say to the mountain with
confidence: “move from here”.
Nothing is impossible!”

Be all God has
called you to be
Paula James 2018 FT Leader
I can say that the FT course
fulfilled my expectations in
every way and more! It
stretched me beyond
comparison in every way. I had
challenges along the way, but I
wasn’t going to let anything stop
me and pressed on - it’s not
how you start it’s how you finish
and the experience you gain
along the way. The prize is at
the end of the journey!
Beverly Grant 2018 FT Leader
“The Fast Track Leadership
course is a course that can
help you grow into a mature
and effective leader by
application of the knowledge
learnt. Until you are able to
effectively lead yourself, you
will not be able to effectively
lead others. I challenge you to
invest in your growth.”
Janice Smith 201* FT Leader
“I would encourage anyone
who feels ready to confront
the self-inflicted hindrances in
their lives, and those who are
ready to be vulnerable for a
season so growth can be
obtained, to apply for the Fast
Track Leadership course.”
Samantha Anderson 2018 FT Leader
“The humility and knowledge
that comes with the Fast
Track Leadership course is
unmeasurable, especially if
God has called you into
ministry and it may mean that
you will have to lead people
Beverley Prime 2018 FT Leader
“The FT Leadership course
impacted my life, as God
showed himself strong and
helped me to push myself to
another level. I would
encourage you to step out in
faith, submit to God and study
the Word for your life”.
