Spirituality, Scholarship, and Service
FEBC endeavours to provide a comprehensive biblical-theological education (Acts 20:27) that is based solely on the forever infallible and inerrant Scriptures (Ps 12:6-7, Matt 5:18, 2 Tim 3:16-17) so as to equip both Christian men and women for effective spiritual leadership and service (2 Tim 2:2, 2:15) in the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matt 28:18-20), and in the defence of the Reformed Faith (Phil 2:16, Titus 1:9, Jude 3).
The most important asset of the College is her teaching faculty. FEBC has a total of nine spiritually and academically qualified lecturers in Biblical Studies, Systematic Theology, Church History, Pastoral Ministry, and Christian Education, and six tutors in Greek, English, Music, and Information Technology. The FEBC lecturers are themselves graduates of the College. As such, they understand well the vision and mission of the College, and can be trusted to serve as effective teachers and mentors to our students. Know that FEBC lecturers are also practitioners of the faith in their respective churches. Being skilled in practical ministry themselves, they are no “ivory tower” professors.
FEBC is not only a Biblical-theological institution of higher learning and spiritual training, it is also a charitable trust. As a bona fide non-profit institution, every effort is made by the College to keep student fees to the barest minimum. Tuition is highly subsidised, and needy but worthy students often enjoy a full-tuition scholarship. This is only possible because of the loving support of God’s people through their freewill offerings.
FEBC seeks born again believers called of God to a life of committed and consecrated Christian service to be students of the College (Luke 9:23-24). As such, being a student in FEBC is not a personal right but a God-given privilege.
Are you willing to serve the Lord Jesus Christ unconditionally and unreservedly, and submit yourself fully to the academic rigour, spiritual discipline, and theological excellence of this College? If yes, then we welcome you warmly to study with us. Those looking for an easy route towards their theological degree are hereby advised to look elsewhere. “There is no royal road to learning.”
The key to theological and ministerial success is, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15).
Jesus said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matt 16:24).
“I Truly Thank God for FEBC”
Dear Dr Khoo
I greet you in the blessed name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Lord moved my heart to set aside this humble love gift for the Lord’s work. It’s a token of God’s mercy, grace and love in my life. Truly He is faithful to see me through day by day. With joy and thanksgiving, I kindly ask of your kind assistance to channel this humble amount as the Lord leads to the needs of FEBC. I truly thank God for FEBC for being a blessing to me and building me in the faith. Truly it is the Lord and His working in my heart that encourages and strengthens me to delight in His Word and Ways. Psalm 16:11, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
I am remembering FEBC in my prayers. I pray that these verses would encourage you in the Lord to be of good cheer and courage. “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour” (Isa 43:1-3). “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isa 43:19).
In my prayers [Signed] 30 July 2010
Verse for the Week:
Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Prov 20:24
