Meet Biblical Training

Biblical Training (BT) is a non-profit, donor-supported online platform founded in 2000 by Dr. William Mounce. Its core purpose is to provide a comprehensive, seminary-level biblical and theological education to anyone in the world for free. The organization has a global reach, with approximately 350,000 active users annually, and 63% of traffic originating from overseas. 

BT features courses taught by a large faculty of world-class evangelical scholars and professors from respected institutions. The teaching content is broadly evangelical, governed by the organization's comprehensive Statement of Faith.

The organization currently faces the challenge and opportunity of maturing from a founder-led ministry to a strategically managed organization, maximizing its limitless potential to scale its impact globally.
