We apologize for not able to post a lot of courses (in English) online at this time. However, if you are a pastor or an elder, a deacon, a decision maker, or a leader in the church, especially in education department, we would like to invite you to partner with us; we can develop the programs together. Here is how:

1. Check from “Course Offers,” find a few courses that you are interested and in your opinion, most needed for church members.
2. Contact us and find a suitable location and workable time for us to teach.
3. Announce to your congregation for registration.
4. With enough interest, the class will start and become a part of IBS curriculum.
5. Terms and conditions are negotiable; we are a ministry, not for profit but to equip the saints for ministry, for building the Body of Christ.
