The Apostle Paul writes in the epistle to the Romans, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?” (10:13-14 KJV). The primary purpose of The John Knox Institute of Higher Education is to equip churches, worldwide, to proclaim and maintain the whole counsel of God. Young churches, especially those in foreign countries, often lack the formal educational resources that churches in North America and Europe frequently take for granted. Additionally, these churches do not have the long history of the Reformed heritage and foundation to help and clarify Biblical teaching for them. However, the lectures our organization offers are also suitable for well-established churches, Bible study groups, and for individual enrichment as well. It is our goal to make Biblical and theological instruction available in the form of video lectures and lessons for all those who have a desire to learn more about the Bible and theology.
