Bethesda Biblical Seminary

To respond God’s move in the missions, the board of Directors of Bethesda Ministries of India and the advisory board met together in Bangalore in 1998 to establish Bethesda Biblical Seminary. BBS is committed to provide its students with academic foundation and practical experience necessary to assume leadership to preach the gospel, make disciples, to plant churches in unreached places.  Our theme is “Prepare to Serve” based on 2 Timothy 32:16-17. We are grateful to God for his marvelous work at BBS in the last 10 years. The Seminary became a witness to train more than 150 graduates from all over India. These students are from different villages from poor backgrounds, they have a great zeal to serve the Lord but failed to afford to go for Bible Seminary because of fees. We have open the doors and invited them for quality education with basic fee or no fees at all in few cases.  At present they are serving the Lord in North and South India, Lord is greatly using them to establish churches, pioneer mission work, teaching youth and children, starting orphanages for less privileged and transforming tribals.

Our Training

We offer and equalize both biblical and ministerial subjects. Our faculty members are dedicated to teach the subjects to the students according to their departments. We have visiting faculty lecturing to students.
