What We Do

Teaching Truth International partners with local pastors and regional associations to provide rigorous Biblical training to strengthen local churches.

We Equip Local Churches

Teaching Truth International offers a variety of different courses and in a variety of different contexts from the following fields: Bible, Theology, Church History and Apologetics.

Course Length

Our conferences can last from three days to three weeks. Individual teaching sessions include lectures, a question and answer time, small group discussion, and occasionally an exam.

Flexible

All of our courses are flexible. We can modify the length of our courses to fit into the time periods that match students/pastors schedules.

Custom

While we emphasize some courses, Teaching Truth International recognizes the needs of local pastors, and we write new courses to meet those needs.

What We Believe

Teaching Truth International affirms the faith of Jesus Christ and the Apostles.

Along with the early church, we accept the authority of the Bible, that is both the Old Testament and the New Testament, as constituting the old covenant and the new covenant of God with his people.

Thus we accept its teaching as authoritative and infallible. As brief summaries of the faith of the Bible, we affirm two creeds of the early church, the Nicene Creed and the Apostles’ Creed.

The one infinite, personal, sovereign, triune God (Deut. 6:4Ps. 115:3Mat. 28:192Cor. 13:14)

The verbal plenary inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments (2 Tim.3:162 Pe. 1:21)

The creation of the universe, including mankind, by an infinite, personal God (Gen. 1:12:71:27)
The creation of mankind in the image and likeness of God, equally found in the male and female, intended by God to be joined in marriage in Complementary roles (Gen. 1:26-28)
The fall of mankind through the sin of Adam (Gen. 3:1-24Ro. 5:12-19)
