Study Method

Our program consists of two complementary components:

Two-Component Learning Approach
  1. 1
    Intensive Sessions in Nairobi
    Teaching takes place in Nairobi, at the premises of Trinity Baptist Church, six times a year, for three years. A total of 8 days is spent (Wednesday to Wednesday), with 6 days of classes, with the intervening weekend as an opportunity to fully participate in the local church. Students are expected to study in much of the free time while in Nairobi.
  2. 2
    Home Study Program
    Study at home, between visits to Nairobi, is when most of the work is to be done. Over the 6-7 weeks at home there is much reading to be gone through and answers to questions to be written out. At least 20 hours a week are to be spent in these studies. The Unit studied must be completed in time for your return after the two months. It will then be marked and returned to you at the earliest opportunity. We insist the student must learn to be disciplined so as to accomplish this each time. It is all part of training for ministry.

Study Resources

Each student is supplied with the reading material necessary to complete the TPC. Books and especially commentaries on almost every book of the Bible, are provided. Other material is photocopied and put in a folder for each Course. Where it is possible the reading material is supplied with a tablet. All these remain the property of the student for his future reference.

In the lecture room there is a library of over one thousand good books, both old and new. These may be borrowed.
