Foreword
It is my distinct privilege and pleasure to serve as President of this wonderful institution that was established by God for the purpose of equipping men and women for a lifetime of ministry wherever He may lead them. For over 60 years BTC has been used by God in equipping Christian leaders for churches here in the Philippines as well as for ministry around the world.
We have graduates who are serving in pastoral ministries as well as in missions, non-government organizations, public schools, orphanages, etc. The Lord has been so gracious to all faculty and staff and to all our students. And He continues to sustain us in the midst of the various challenges we are facing these days.
At BTC we seek to build strong, intimate relationships and lead others in starting contagious, infectious friendships. Every subject we offer teaches students to look at any and all truth through Jesus’ eyes, allowing Jesus to invade and influence every facet of life and learning. Our experienced, caring faculty and staff don’t just expect students to memorize their lectures. They teach them to ask and answer tough questions, discipling them to love the Lord with all their mind. BTC also activates students in using their hands, arms, and mouth to serve their communities. Students are pushed to reach higher than they ever thought possible, encouraging them to dream of new, effective ways to make disciples. As the faculty and staff seek to model 2 Timothy 2:21 in their life and ministry, they also seek ways to motivate their students to obey Jesus and imitate them as they live out His teaching.
In our pursuit for effectiveness and efficiency in all that we do, it is my prayer that this Manual of Operation will guide us in our ministry and decision-making processes. And that the Lord is glorified in everything that we do.
I’m also grateful to our team of committed faculty and staff for their continued dedication and love for the Lord and for His work. May the Lord continue to bless us and keep us.
Soli Deo Gloria!
