Extension Programs

In addition to our main campus in Bethlehem, we have extension centers in Gaza, Nazareth, and Ramle where students from all over Palestine can study the Word of God.

Gaza Center
Several students from Gaza used to attend Bethlehem Bible College. However, in the past few years students were forbidden to leave Gaza. The extension center in Gaza was started in 1995 to train indigenous Christian leaders. Teachers used to travel from Bethlehem to give courses, but now the Lord sent back Hanna Masad who received his Ph.D. from Fuller Seminary to direct and teach with our other teachers the 21 students attending classes. Evening courses in Biblical studies and Christian education are provided. There are also government officials who attend special courses in management and ESL courses (English as a second language).

Nazareth Center
Our Nazareth Center has expanded and now offers courses on a daily basis at the YMCA in Nazareth. Currently there are 40 full-time students enrolled. Rev. Nabil Samarah, a graduate of Ausberry Seminary, is the Director of the extension center in Nazareth. The Nazareth Extension offers the following courses by the listed professor:
Introduction to the Old Testament – Nabil Samarah
Background to the Old Testament – Philip Said

Ramleh Extension
We do have a third extension in Ramleh where we give courses to 18 students.
Teachers travel to Ramleh on weekends to do that.
