Perth Bible College

Have you ever struggled with faith because of painful church experiences? Or perhaps you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or counsellor wanting to better understand and care for those carrying spiritual wounds.

Perth Bible College invites you to the book launch of Bruised by Belief: From the Wounds of High-Control Christianity to a Faith that Restores, written by clinical counsellor Anu Matara. Join us as Anu shares the story behind the book and provides keys for promoting healthy faith communities.

Today we pause and remember the weight of the cross.

On this Good Friday, we reflect on the sacrificial love of Jesus - who bore our sin and gave His life so we could be reconciled to God.

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…” Isaiah 53:5

This is not the end of the story, but it is the depth of His love.

Take a moment today to sit in the silence, to remember, and to give thanks.

The book of Psalms ends with a great Hallelujah! 🎶

Praise God in the sanctuary ⛪
and in the heavens 🌌
Praise Him for His powerful acts 💥
and for His greatness 👑

Praise Him with the instruments 🎶
🎺 trumpet,🪉 harp, 🎻 lyre, 🥁 timbrel
Praise Him with dancing 💃
Play the strings 🎸 and the pipe 🪈
Clash and resound the cymbals! 🥁✨

C’mon! 🙌🔥
Let EVERYTHING 🌍 that has breath 🌬️
Praise the Lord! ✨

You’re Invited: Open Lecture Series!

Join us for three upcoming Open Lectures, each offering a glimpse into the kind of study our students undertake:

📖 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘄
An introduction to how we explore the narrative, theology, and context of the Hebrew Bible.

A snapshot of how close reading helps us engage the Gospel of Luke thoughtfully and carefully.

A preview of our foundational unit, asking what it means not only to learn theology, but to do theology.

Each lecture is a brief window into the course’s approach and aims - not a full course, but an opportunity to experience theological study in action.

Join in person or online, and come experience what it's like to study at PBC.

Romans 1:16 reminds us that the Gospel is not just good advice - it is the power of God unto salvation.

This powerful truth assures us that salvation is not something we strive to earn, but something God powerfully accomplishes. His grace transforms hearts, restores lives, and brings hope where there was none.

As we approach the start of our new trimester (23rd February), we are reminded why we gather, study, and grow together - to know this Gospel more deeply and to carry it boldly into the world.
