Milestones

---

2005

JBC was established at the invitation of local church leaders and launched at Melville Union Church with 12 students.

2007

Student numbers had grown to 60.

2008

80 students registered and a permanent base was needed. Auckland Park Campus was established and became the 'home' of JBC with two large teaching rooms, offices and space for hospitality.

2009

Soweto Campus was established in order to train Bible teachers in an important area for South African society. It began in a coffee shop before settling in a local church. 

2010

Zandspruit Bible School (ZBS) was launched, led by a JBC graduate.  This informal settlement is rapidly growing and access to theological training is vital in supporting local churches.

2011

Auckland Park Campus Monday evening classes commenced - since 2016 these are held in Sandton.

2014

JBC assisted with the foundation of the Institute of Bible Teaching (IBT) in Buluwayo, headed by a 2013 JBC graduate.

We also celebrated our 10th anniversary - see video below.

2017

Auckland Park Campus expanded to include more space for a library and more office space for JBC's growing staff team.

2018

JBC's new Soweto Campus facility is launched.
