Korean Talbot Institute for Biblical Studies (KTIBS)<br />
Director: ...................................................................................... Dr. Victor Rhee<br />
The Korean Talbot Institute for Biblical Studies (KTIBS) offers a<br />
wide range of non-credit biblical, theological and ministry skills<br />
study courses on Talbot’s La Mirada campus. Its purpose is to<br />
equip believers with biblical / theological foundations essential<br />
for their spiritual growth and teaching God’s Word in their local<br />
churches. It is the goal of KTIBS to assist churches effectively to<br />
be the church in an environment that is essentially hostile to the<br />
message of God’s truth. Courses meet two (2) hours each week<br />
for six (6) weeks. Three different levels of certificates are awarded<br />
to students who have successfully completed the required<br />
courses. Courses are taught primarily in Korean. A current schedule<br />
of courses being offered may be obtained through the office<br />
of the KTIBS director on campus.<br />
