Sample Lectures

The decision to go to Bible (or theological) college is an important one. Will the college be faithful to the Bible, the inspired word of God? Will they stretch and challenge me to grow deeper in knowledge and love of God? Will they help mature and prepare me for a lifetime of gospel service?

If you are considering studying at Bible college, we hope these sample lectures give you a small taste of study at SMBC – and encourage you to want more. Whilst regular, in-person lectures are far more interactive and dynamic, these lectures do give you a sample of the calibre of our lecturers and the kind of areas covered.

We recommend also attending one of our Info Mornings or Evenings (on-campus or online) where you can learn about the full SMBC experience and meet lecturers, registrars, students and graduates.

We also encourage you to start a conversation with us about what study at SMBC might look like for you. Please feel free call us on 02 9747 4780 or contact us here
