| Rachel visiting an ancient Christian site |
With the collapse of the Roman Empire it was the Celtic Church which kept the flame of Christianity burning brightly. In the sixth and seventh centuries its missionaries travelled throughout Europe in their battle against paganism. Ireland was called the 'Land of Saints and Scholars'.
At Belfast Bible college we would aspire to follow in their footsteps. Our students find much interest in exploring historical sites.

C.S.Lewis the famous author was born in Belfast in 1898. He gained a triple first at Oxford University before becoming a Professor at Cambridge. Converted in 1929 he became the author of many Christian books still read today by millions worldwide. His home, church and memorial statue can be visited in Belfast today.

The heritage of Ireland (both Christian and historical) is there to explore - ancient Churches, Castles, burial sites, the associations with Saint Patrick.
Many of our students enjoy exploring such places!
There are sites of great revivals and churches vibrant with God's Spirit working today.

Ireland is, of course, more than a site to be visited , but a society to be lived in, experienced and ministered to.
Our students engage in practical training for a variety of ministries of their choice - street witnessing, small groups in churches, children's and youth work.
