School of the Bible and Ministry
WSBM provides classes to equip Willingdon Church – head, heart and hands – to become more biblically literate and to serve more effectively in church and related ministry.
What is Willingdon School of the Bible and Ministry?
Scripture is the primary way we can know God, and through it we learn what God cares about most in this world, and how we can best participate with Him, using our unique gifts for life and work in His Kingdom. This is why Scripture is the foundation of everything we do in WSBM.
You may have noticed that we added the word “Ministry” to the school’s title. Along with a continued focus on biblical studies, we also hope to equip the people of God for practical service in areas such as pastoral care and community outreach, for ministry both inside and outside the church family.
The psalmist said, “The entrance of your words gives light” (Ps. 119:130). We invite you into this learning community as we welcome together the light of God’s Word into our hearts.

Book of Acts
This study of the Book of Acts pays careful attention to its theology as well as to its practical application for Christian life and mission. God's Spirit worked powerfully in the early church as many were drawn to salvation in Jesus, the sick healed and the Gospel message spread from Jerusalem to Rome. This examination of the Spirit's work in the past will help committed Christ followers apply the truths of Scripture to the present.

Live Your Calling
Meaning in Life and Work
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.

Called to Care
Foundations of Caregiving
Who cares? This question often surfaces in modern life and language. Who should care? If it is true that Christians should care, how are we to go about it? This course explores the Biblical foundations for caregiving. Topics range from the ministry of the caregiving to the individual skills and equipping for caregiving, as well as the benefits and dangers in caregiving. We will also learn how to balance our caregiving and find direction in the midst of need. Come discover how God is calling you to be a caregiver in various aspects of your life.
