To Train Believers to become disciple-makers who know God, model His character and are able to build into others the life-changing principles of God's Word
At PRBI we are committed to disciple-making. We believe that disciple-making must be observed and practiced within the student body.
1. Discipleship is training students how they are to function within the body by teaching them who they are in Christ;
2. The goal of discipleship is to see each student discipled and being trained to disciple others.
3. The result of discipleship is seen in the development of student leadership which enables our students to minister and build into others.
4. The necessary outcome of disciple-making is reaching out to the lost.
"At this school I encountered discipleship, and I learned that people are the front line of ministry...
PRBI has transformed my life, bringing me from a spiritual babe to a spiritual adult. So my plea is this: come to PRBI for four years. Come learn, come grow. You have no idea how much you have to learn. Four years is a horrendously small price to pay in order to live a spiritually mature life...Four years is a horrendously small amount of time to reap lifelong benefits. It can be an eternally valuable amount of time to work on your relationship with God, your knowledge of His Word, and your relationship with the church. So please, consider spending four years of your life at this school. It will transform you." - Josh Smolders (Bachelor's of Religious Education with a Pastoral Major)
"PRBI has transformed my life!"
Discipleship is "a relationship where a spiritually minded person uses the Word of God to teach, reprove, correct, and train a learner in Christ how to live a God centered life in faith, wisdom, and love." - Colin McDougall
