ACADEMICS

Curriculum

Built to establish. Designed to develop. Grounded in the Word.

The BAPBI curriculum provides structured biblical instruction for believers who desire a stronger foundation in Scripture and Apostolic truth. Each area of study is intended to move students beyond simply knowing what the church teaches toward understanding, living, and faithfully applying those truths.

THE BAPBI CURRICULUM

A Pathway of Spiritual Formation

The curriculum moves through four connected areas of development, establishing the believer in truth and preparing them to live that truth faithfully.

BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS

Beginning the Walk

Students develop the essential practices that establish a strong spiritual life and a healthy relationship with the local church.

Prayer & Spiritual Discipline

Developing a consistent life of prayer and dependence upon God.

Scripture & Truth

Learning to trust God's Word, understand its authority, and live according to it.

Church & Discipleship

Growing through fellowship, accountability, worship, and participation in the local body.

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”

1 Peter 2:2

APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE

The Faith We Believe

Students establish a clear biblical understanding of the foundational truths taught within the Apostolic faith.

The Oneness of God

Understanding the one God revealed in Jesus Christ.

The Name of Jesus

Understanding the importance of Jesus' name in prayer, worship, salvation, and identity.

Repentance

Understanding genuine repentance as a turning toward God that produces faith and obedience.

Baptism in Jesus' Name

Examining the biblical practice and Apostolic authority of baptism in Jesus' name.

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine.”

Ephesians 4:14

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

Living the Faith

Biblical knowledge becomes meaningful when it shapes the way a believer lives, responds, and grows.

Holy Ghost Life

Walking in the Spirit with endurance and faithfulness.

Holy Living

Allowing Scripture to shape everyday choices, character, relationships, and conduct.

Discernment

Developing spiritual maturity, wisdom, and sound judgment.

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Galatians 5:25

DISCIPLESHIP & SERVICE

From Learning to Service

Students are encouraged to put biblical teaching into practice through spiritual maturity, responsibility, and faithful involvement in the local church.

Growing in Maturity

Moving from foundational understanding toward spiritual responsibility.

Serving the Local Body

Finding healthy ways to participate and serve within Bethesda Tabernacle.

Living the Faith

Putting biblical teaching into practice beyond the classroom.

“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”

1 Peter 4:10

THE PROGRESSION

Foundation → Doctrine → Discipleship → Service

Students first establish the fundamentals of their walk with God. They then develop an understanding of Apostolic doctrine, learn to apply that truth to daily life, and grow toward faithful participation in the local church.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”

2 Peter 3:18

THE PURPOSE

Grounded in Truth. Growing in Faith. Ready to Serve.

The purpose of BAPBI is not simply to provide information. It is to help believers become established in Scripture, strengthened in their faith, and equipped to live what they believe.

“That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

2 Timothy 3:17
