Bible Schools

  • Located in local churches throughout Ukraine
  • Available Programs: Certificate Program

Bible schools typically meet on a Saturday (8 hours) and Sunday (2 hours) two different weekends when our CMI teacher travels to their church to teach a course.

Bible schools give students a unique chance to learn to study God’s Word in a systematic fashion in their home church without distancing themselves from their families and jobs. If a Bible school is not located nearby, students may study at our regional education centers (located in Ukraine and Armenia), our international center (Kyiv, Ukraine), or online.

Upon completion of the Certificate Program courses, students will receive the Church Ministries Institute certificate.

Please contact our office to see if there is a local Bible school located near you.
