Disciples are not made overnight
It takes intentional learning in the context of accountable relationships to gain that type of influence. However, most pastors and leaders are overworked with little time to teach doctrine or design courses, let alone develop discipleship pathways, which is why PBC has become a strategic partner for pastors and churches to help create disciples and train leaders for His church worldwide.

What People Are Saying About PBC
“Over my life in ministry the Basic Doctrine course at Portland Bible College has shaped, molded and transformed my thinking. I cannot imagine my life or ministry without it. I owe PBC so much. I truly believe that this college has some of the best biblical professors in the world, which is why we choose to implement large portions of their curriculum into our internship and leadership teams. Let PBC transform your life and ministry, the way it has mine. I highly recommended this course and others offered by PBC."

-
If I change my mind, can I get credit for my audit course?
Credit is not granted after the fact. In order to get college credit, students need to enter a system of accountability and feedback for progress made and work completed. The audit system does not allow for that, therefore students desiring to get college credit, must apply and get accepted to PBC and register for courses.

-
How long do I get access to the course for?
If you sign up for a single course then you have access for 6 months. If you have a subscription then you have access until you cancel.
-
I need more time, how do I extend my access?
We definitely recommend that students access one course at a time due to the fact that each course has so much content! If life gets busy and you would like more time to go through the content, we are happy to extend access for one additional month at no additional cost to help you wrap up your course. Additional extensions can be provided at a greatly reduced rate to help you receive the full benefits of your purchase. Simply email pbconline@portlandbiblecollege.org with your request!
-
Can I download the course content?
All PBC courses offer comprehensive course notes, which included the points, scriptures and even charts and images that every student can download and keep when the course is done. However, students are not able to download the actual course lectures to their iPods or computers.
-
Can I watch the content on a mobile device?
Students must have a computer (PC or Mac) and access to a high-speed internet connection to stream videos and lectures. Some lectures should also play on mobile and tablet devices, but the PBC help desk is unable to provide technical support for those. The lectures will work on any browser, but we have found Firefox to provide the most consistent display.
