The Foundation

Since 1984 having discovered the profound benefit and need of Discipleship training in my own life, I carried the burden and vision for a Discipleship School here in this part of Northern Ireland.

Since my first meeting with the late Dr. Bob Gordon, found of Proclaimers International, I have encouraged Christians everywhere to consider discipleship training, many of whom have spent a rewarding time with Proclaimers International in Leadership, Discipleship and Evangelism training.

Unfortunately, not everyone can sacrifice three, six or twelve months of their time to a full term course.  This is why we, as a church, have sponsored The Open Door Bible School.

It is a non denominational school and everyone who has a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and would like to receive training in Leadership or Evangelism, while at the same time being discipled by the Word of God, will be made truly welcome.

I sincerely hope you will be as challenged and encouraged towards being a disciple of Jesus as I was and continue to be.

Our Aims

·                     To deepen and broaden people’s understanding of the Word of God from discipleship to leadership.

·                     To develop the potential placed by God in each individual for ministry and works of service.

·                     To provide teaching and encouragement in the principals and practice of discipleship, to stimulate growth towards maturity in the Christian life.

·                     To provide the opportunity for Christians to gain understanding and experience which will enable them to function to their full potential in their local church.

·                     To develop the gifting of those who are called by God to positions of leadership.

·                     To provide a practical, biblical basis for effective full time and lay leadership for ministry.
