School of the Bible and Ministry
WSBM exists to equip God's people - head, heart, and hands - through the Word of God, helping them know Jesus Christ personally and carry on His ministry.
What is Willingdon School of the Bible and Ministry?
God is a speaking God.
Through God’s revealed Word, the Bible, we learn who God is, what God cares about, and how we were made to live. Through the written Word we meet the living Word, Jesus Christ. Knowing His Word allows us to know Him.
At the same time, the Holy Spirit equips us to participate with God through the gifts and abilities He has given, for the sake of His Kingdom and the furthering of the Gospel in our world.
Courses at WSBM are both Biblical and practical, designed to draw us closer to God and to lead us out into our communities with love. Courses range from historical overviews and book studies to pastoral care and community outreach. We strive to be people of ministry both inside and outside the church family.
The psalmist said, “The entrance of your words gives light” (Ps. 119:130). Come have your heart enlightened and discover how God has designed you to be light and hope in the world.

Called to Care
God cares us, and we are given the same mandate as His people. This course explores the Biblical foundations for caregiving, including a general understanding of care and how we are equipped with individual skills to meet the needs of those around us. We will also consider how to balance caregiving so that we are aware of both the benefits and the risks of caregiving.

Live Your Calling
What are your gifts? What is your passion? Where do you find meaning? What is your calling? A clear understanding of our calling is core for the Christian, no matter one's stage of life. The one starting a career or in the midst of education can lay a foundation for future plans. The one looking to reset can find direction mid-career. Those in their retirement stage can reboot their focus in life in order to finish well.
