Belfast School Of Theology
Our Story
What an incredible journey over 80 years
Belfast Bible College began in 1943 during the bleak days of World War 2, and somewhat courageously Robert and Rosalind McKnight unfurled the pristine and hopeful banner:
Belfast Bible School and Missionary Training Home
The College has certainly walked a long road since then, always seeking to attune collegiate strategy and direction with the Spirit’s leading and discernment for each stage of the journey, whether on the heights immersed in a glorious vista or enduring wearisome footsteps through miry valleys. Successive boards, principals and staff have carried the same beautiful task to train, spiritually equip and mobilise the local and global church for mission and fulfilled spiritual living in Christ.
What a breathtaking journey it has been.
Thousands trained and now serving the Lord
Former students are impacting the world as Doctors, lawyers, ministers, Pastors, evangelists, international Christian songwriters, missionaries both overseas and in cross-cultural settings, academics, lecturers, RE teachers, youth workers, politicians, civil servants, business leaders, digital content writers, environmentalists, engineers, agricultural development workers and more. The impact of their studies with is has influenced their careers and life choices, all seeking to bear witness to the reality of Jesus and His Kingdom, wherever the Lord has called them, using whatever talents He has placed in their hands.
This is the Belfast School of Theology’s legacy.
What a mobilisation!
