The motto, vision goals, and eight areas of commitment that define CIBREST
Institutional Motto
Section 1
Four strategic goals that define where CIBREST is headed
To be a leading global centre of biblical research and theological education, where Scripture-based and Spirit-led inquiry transforms the Church and impacts nations.
To study all subjects or disciplines from the biblical frame of reference — ensuring the Word of God is the lens through which all academic inquiry is conducted.
To foster excellence in the pursuit of Biblical Research Studies and theological education within Christian faith, producing rigorous and impactful scholarship.
To make the Bible the major "textbook" for learning in all subjects or disciplines and the source of all research work — positioning Scripture as the supreme academic authority.
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
— 2 Timothy 2:15Section 2
The CIBREST mission is pursued through eight foundational commitments
To uphold that Scripture alone is sufficient to understanding divine truth and as the foundation of all research. The Bible is our primary textbook and ultimate authority in all matters of doctrine, faith, theory, and practice.
To advance scholarship through the theological triad of Faith Theology, Theoretical Theology, and Practical Theology — equipping scholars to engage all dimensions of Christian thought and ministry.
To raise research pastor-scholars who will serve the Church, engage the academy, and transform society — embodying the dual identity of researcher and minister, called to serve both the academy and the Kingdom.
CIBREST provides high-quality instruction, guidance, discipleship and mentorship in Biblical Christian studies, such as theology, biblical Christian education, theoretical theology, and related fields.
Psalm 119:66 · Matthew 28:19-20 · 2 Timothy 2:2
CIBREST fosters a learning environment that encourages students to explore, discover, and grow in their understanding of biblical truths.
Proverbs 1:7 · Philippians 4:8-9
CIBREST conducts Scripture-based and Spirit-illuminated inquiry or research, promotes scholarly inquiry, and advances knowledge in Biblical and theological studies, such as theology, biblical Christian education, faith theology, theoretical theology, and related fields. Biblical research holds the torch of truth.
Isaiah 34:16 · Acts 17:11 · John 5:39 · 2 Timothy 2:15
CIBREST focuses on equipping students, scholars, and ministry professionals with the skills, knowledge, and character necessary for effective service and leadership through Workshops, Seminars, and Conferences.
Ephesians 4:11-12, 13-16 · 1 Timothy 4:7-8
Researchers must write a clear and concise report, sharing their findings with relevant audiences. The Bible has encouraged us to share our light since we are the light of the world — share this light and publish the word (i.e., faith, testimony, and good works) with others, rather than hiding it.
Isaiah 52:7 · Matthew 5:14-15 · Matthew 28:19-20 · Mark 16:15 · Romans 10:14-15 · 2 Timothy 4:2
