Description:
Regents Theological College is a theological college in Malvern, Worcestershire, England. It is the training centre of the Elim Pentecostal Church. First called Elim Bible College, it was founded in 1925 by the evangelist George Jeffreys, also co-founder and leader of Elim.
The Elim Bible College, now Regents Theological College, was founded in 1925 with the aim of training ministers to serve in the new church denomination through ministry and mission. Today, that focus has widened considerably, and whilst many students still enter the Elim ministry or a connected church based activity, others go on to a wide range of careers following graduation. Such careers include teaching, public service, business and commerce and third sector charitable work.
As a church denomination which operates throughout the whole of the UK and internationally, the Elim Pentecostal Church engages with people of all ethnic backgrounds, gender, age and socio economic categories. Many of our city based churches in particular have people from over 40 different nationalities in their congregation.
Elim Pentecostal also seeks to influence society, culture and the local community through its programmes and activities, with particular focus on serving young people, disadvantaged people, and people who have suffered life controlling problems such as drug addiction and alcoholism.
As a result, the Elim Pentecostal Church has a strong track record in offering higher education pathways to a diverse range of people, with a particular focus on helping those who may have struggled with education in the past or who may not qualify to study at many other institutions. This is particularly relevant to mature students who we successfully attract to study at Regents, often based on their desire to serve in Christian ministry and mission.
