In this Bundle:
"PBC prepared me for ministry through classes filled with practical ministry training in sermon writing, counseling techniques, building leaders and teams, and worldview courses. In a more personal way, classes like Marriage and Family as well as Personal Finance helped influence my personal life and thus influences the ministry I serve. I would recommend youth pastors consider PBC because it is important to continually be equipped from a trusted, tried, and true source."
"Stepping into youth ministry, you never know exactly what you are going to encounter. From pastoral counseling to administration and preaching, there is always an area to grow in. I am so grateful not just for the foundation that PBC courses - such as Basic Doctrine and OT and NT Survey - helped provide, but also for the long-lasting impact of the content that helps me better care for and disciple my students."
"Two things I love about PBC courses are the quality of the teaching and the affordability of these courses, which helped me graduate PBC debt-free. Each course is phenomenal and is taught by professors who have decades worth of wisdom and experience. The investment you make into your own development and understanding as a leader correlates to the quality of care you give your students, which is why I highly encourage you to consider this bundle."
PBC has been training and raising up youth pastors for more than 50 years. The courses in this bundle have equipped pastors around the world to be more effective in pastoring, leading, counseling, and preaching to their youth.
