Formerly known as The King of Kings College, ICB began in 1990 with the purpose to serve Israel’s growing Messianic Jewish Community. Its mission is “reaching and training a generation of Israeli disciples living in the last days who are equipped, mobilized, and energized with a first-century commitment to believe in God’s promises and participate in His purposes for Israel and the Nations.” ICB aims at enabling students to develop not just their knowledge of Scripture but also their ability to communicate the message behind it. The institution aims not just at giving the students the skills they need for ongoing study of Scripture, but they likewise point them to resources that are made available to them for their personal spiritual growth and development and equip their students for leadership in ministry. Furthermore, woven into the identity of ICB are its efforts in bringing reconciliation and unity among Israeli and Arab believers.

ICB offers the following programs: Year in Israel Certificate, Bikkurim or “first fruits” Certificate, BA in Biblical Studies, MA in Biblical Studies, MA in Biblical Counselling, and Master of Ministry (Pastoral Ministry).

Let us keep Israel College of  the Bible in our prayers as they go about their mission and as they work towards unity and reconciliation.
