Many Christians attend Bible studies in their local church, but for various reasons, some find it easier or more profitable to take online Bible courses. Though there are many options for online Bible studies, RBC Ministries offers a very complete selection of online Bible courses that are taught by well-known Bible teachers with excellent credentials.
RBC Ministries offers both online Bible courses that are free as well as biblical studies that cost a small fee. Non-Certificate Program Courses are free and are identical to Certificate Program Courses which in most cases cost $40 each. The only difference between online Bible courses that are free and the paid version is that those who take the $40 Certificate Program Courses must take tests and receive a course grade of 70% or higher in order to receive a certificate. The certificate is recognized by the ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) and by other organizations that have a formal agreement with RBC Ministries.
Below is a listing of the online Bible courses offered through RBC Ministries.
