Equip your network with a complete Vietnamese Bible curriculum

The pastors in your network are already serving. They teach, counsel, and lead, often without formal biblical education. A complete Vietnamese Bible curriculum can give them a firm foundation for the work they are doing.

Many pastors serve with no seminary within reach

Many pastors serve with no access to seminary or Bible college. They preach every week, counsel families, and shepherd their churches. Very few institutions offer comprehensive Bible training in Vietnamese.

The field is large. About 100 million people live in Vietnam, where Vietnamese is the official language and the language of most of the population. Leaders who serve them need training in the language their congregations use.

Studying far from home is often out of reach. Pastors have families and congregations who depend on them. They need training that comes to them, taught in the language they use every day.

You know these leaders. You see how much they want to understand Scripture and teach it faithfully. They deserve a clear, structured path to prepare for the calling they carry.

A curriculum that thousands have already used

The Bible Training Centre for Pastors (BTCP) curriculum is translated into Vietnamese. Graduates are equipped to lead and train others, so the training can spread through your network. BTCP is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, its curriculum is used in 105 countries, and it has more than 200,000 graduates.

Partner reports show more than 7,500 people have taken part, mostly in Vietnam. The record there is long. Partner reports list more than 130 completed classes in Vietnam over more than two decades, and more than 4,500 people have graduated.

The curriculum is a structured, step-by-step path through Scripture and sound doctrine. Pastors can follow it while they continue to serve their churches.

Three tracks that fit every level of church leadership

Every leader can start at the right level.

BTCI (5 courses, 275 hours) equips lay leaders and small group hosts. Graduates can apply for advanced standing at Dallas Theological Seminary.
BTCL (8 courses, 400 hours) trains elders, deacons, and ministry leaders.
BTCP (10 courses, 520 hours) is the full program for pastors at any stage.

See the course lists on our three tiers of training page.

Live classes your own church can host

BTCP classes are live and face-to-face, led by a local instructor from your church or ministry. Instructors have theological training through seminary, Bible college, BTCP programs, or equivalent biblical education. BTCP prepares each instructor in a two-day teacher workshop and provides teaching guides and ongoing support.

Fees that keep training within reach

Fees are per student, per course, and depend on where the class meets: $20 in North America and $11 everywhere else. The five BTCI courses cost $100 in North America and $55 elsewhere. Manuals are included, and there are no franchise or subscription fees. If these fees are not workable in your setting, we accept applications for a reduced rate. Partners order materials through BTCP on our ordering page.

Common questions

Is the curriculum available in this language? Yes. The translation is listed as completed on our translations page. Our team will confirm which materials are available when you meet with us.

How long does it take? Partners set the schedule, as long as each course meets its minimum hours. Many classes meet once a week for a few hours; others hold week-long intensives each quarter. The BTCI track (275 hours) usually takes one and a half to two and a half years, depending on how often and how long classes meet.

Where can classes be held? Almost anywhere: churches, homes, rented spaces, even restaurants and other dining establishments.

How are students evaluated? Instructors look at attendance, participation, and consistent completion of the study-question sections in the manuals.

Can students in different tracks learn together? Yes. Students working toward different tracks can study in the same class for the courses their tracks share.

Can students take the courses online? No. Classes are live and face-to-face, so students and teachers learn together in the same room.
