KCOT is very thankful to report that, through God’s grace, we can now also present the Higher Certificate in Bible Teaching at this venue. This was made possible by the student’s eagerness to enrich themselves through further studies, the fact that the venue added an extra room this year and God’s provision. The first group of 8 students started in May 2025 and consists mainly of students who already completed the Higher Certificate in Church Ministry. Our prayer for this group is that they may go from strength to strength, honouring God’s name, spreading the Word and enriching their community. First group of Cedarville HCBTRead More →

Dear students, You recently had the wonderful opportunity to see the culmination of all your hard work of the past few years when you received your graduation certificates.  We are very glad that we could experience it along with you and your families.
