Practical Bible training to equip you to make disciples and be a leader
Do a Vocational Bible College Apprenticeship?
What is Vocational Bible College?
In Australia 75% of individuals enter the workforce straight after school, skipping university. Yet professionals with degrees dominate the church landscape. That's why Vocational Bible College is here.
VBC equips practical Christian leaders for our churches. We understand the need to reach those who start working after school. Our approach is unique: lively discussions, ministry placements, and hands-on assessments. Think of it as training for Christian ministry similar to how an apprentice carpenter becomes a skilled craftsman.
At VBC, you'll find an encouraging community that inspires all. Just as Jesus chose ordinary fishermen like Peter, Andrew, James, and John to spread the gospel, we aim to raise leaders like them for our churches.

“Training with Vocational Bible College has helped me be a better disciple of Jesus. I now understand how the Bible fits together and can read the Old Testament for myself. It’s given me skills to lead Bible studies and help others follow Jesus. In the past I’ve not known what to do and been afraid of stuffing up. Now I have more confidence to talk to others about Jesus and lead groups. ”
