About the Institute
For the first time, we're bringing the Precept Africa Institute online! This training is a unique opportunity to take time to invest in your spiritual walk, develop your leadership and discipleship skills and grow your knowledge of the Word.
What it is
Precept Institutes have been running worldwide for a number of years, and we’ve seen the incredible value and growth it provides for everyone who participates. Now we’re bringing this incredible training opportunity to everyone online!
The Precept Institute is a unique opportunity to break away for two weeks at a time and focus on both studying the Word of God and learning how to lead others to do the same using a wide range of Precept resources.
How it works
The Precept Institute is a 3 Year program with 3 interactive sessions per year. Each session is 2 weeks long.
There will be practical work that will need completion in between the sessions.
At the end of the 3 years, you would have completed 9 sessions, which will qualify you for a Precept Institute Certificate.
Who it's for
This Institute is a must for anyone part of a church, both leader and member alike, who wants to learn how to lead others in a deeper relationship with God through Bible study.
Years of expertise and care have gone into developing this training. It’s a program that will set you up for a lifetime of deeper Biblical understanding, powerful Bible study skills, and passion for God’s Word.

Studying the book of Philippians.
The people in the church in the city of Philippi (modern Greece) is a model for growth. Apostle Paul is a model person in his relationship with this church for Jesus Christ. The word JOY is the second most mentioned word in this book, which is healthy sign of church growth.
Studying the book of 2 Thessalonians.
Do you live in the light of the greatest historical event: the return of Jesus Christ and His reign? Do you let time control you or you are in control of it? Do you let people set your agenda or Jesus Christ who wants to give you a position of responsibility now and in the future? We all have 24 hours and will be rewarded or lose our rewards if we neglect the proper use of time.
