Welcome to Timothy College online.
Our college came into being in answer to a need in Pakistan. There was no training facility for pastors in the central part of the Punjab region of Pakistan, so the Lord led us to create the Timothy Bible College in Khanewal. In the year of the Lord 2016, the college was born and already has 15 students.
We have two options. You can physically attend the college in Khanewal, or you can study online through these web pages. If you become a student in Khanewal, your course will look like this:

Even though our primary calling is to educate pastors for the churches in Pakistan, we are open to the opportunity to serve a wider community of Christians. So Timothy Bible College in Khanewal also became timothycollegeonline.com. We cover the same subjects in the online course, but then there is no restriction of time. You can study as fast or as slow as you want to. If you pass the exams, you will receive a diploma from Timothy Bible College. We are at present translating our course material into Urdu and Hindi. Contact our principal at rector@timothycollegeonline.com if you would like to be kept informed about this.
The core of our courses has been developed by the Nehemiah Bible Institute of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. They are available to students in Africa and any other country who would like to study them. We are working on courses suitable for the Asian and Middle Eastern countries. We hope to finalise them at the end of 2018.
