Statement of Faith

Bible College of Malaysia subscribes to the Statement of Truths of the Assemblies of God summarized as follows: 

We believe:

the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the infallible rule of faith and conduct for all men.​

there is one God, eternally existent in three persons–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His visible future return to earth to rule for a thousand years.

in the rapture of the Church at Christ’s return to this earth; this is the blessed and living hope of all believers.

by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the cleansing power of the blood of Christ.

regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.

by Christ’s atoning death on the Cross, healing for the human body is available in answer to faith and prayer.

in the baptism in the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4, which may be received by all believers for effective life and service.

in the dwelling sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit which enables the Christian to live a holy life.

in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting punishment.

History of Bible College of Malaysia

The Bible College of Malaysia (BCM) traces its humble roots to an American missionary couple, Delmer and Eleanor Guynes, who were sent to Malaysia to serve God in the 1950s. Initially established as the Bible Institute of Malaya, the college officially opened its doors in 1960 and in 1962, the first batch of students consisting of four men and three women became the first graduates.

As an education institution, BCM’s primary mission is to equip and provide holistic training to men and women called by God so that they may advance the gospel of our Lord effectively with their God-given gifts – in Malaysia and beyond.

In 1982, the college was renamed the Bible College of Malaysia with the introduction of the Bachelor of Theology program. Seeing the need for more lay leaders, the Certificate of Biblical Studies was introduced in 1986. As demand grew for higher-tertiary Christian studies, a suite of Master programs was introduced in 2004.

All programs were initially in English. Between 1968 and 1972, under the leadership of Rev David and Alice Nyien, certain programs were made available in Chinese. In 1980, a full-fledged Chinese faculty was established. Today, the Chinese faculty offers a full suite of programs from Bachelor to Master to Counseling programs. 

Strategically located in Malaysia, the paramount focus is to equip more local native speakers. As the need arose, Rev Peter Wong, Rev Ng Kok Kee and Rev Wendy Ching established the Bahasa Malaysia faculty in 2003. The faculty offered a Diploma of Theology and subsequently, a Bachelor of Theology. 

Our experienced and caring teaching faculty come from diverse backgrounds of ministry and missionary experience. Not only will their academic expertise stretch and deepen your biblical knowledge and thinking, but their life experience in the field provides practical application for holistic learning. See our Academic Team.

In the 60 years since its establishment, BCM has trained over 1000 ministers for Christ. Among them are 700 full-time ministers, 200 bi-vocational pastors or lay leaders in the workplace, 14 missionaries, 9 parachurch workers, 31 social concern workers and 5 evangelists. 

Tapping into the robust network and ecosystem at BCM, some alumni are itinerant preachers. Among the people trained at BCM, many of them go forth to fulfill their calling in different parts of the world; Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Japan, China, Hong Kong, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, and the United Kingdom.

BCM graduates are highly regarded in the Christian community. Graduates work nationwide and overseas as church pastors, missionaries, in university ministries and para-church organizations, or return to the workforce for ministry opportunities and are more equipped to serve in the local church.
