The BEST Curriculum is an intentional combination of live lectures from local and international speakers, study materials from The Sword of the Spirit series by Colin Dye and more.

For the theological aspects of the School we will be lecturing from the Kensington Temple International Bible Institute of London’s curriculum. 

 

The Training and equipping aspects of BEST will include: 

• Bethel lectures from Bill Johnson & other Bethel Leaders 

• Equipping electives
