RHEMA is a word, a place, and a worldwide family

• A Word: RHEMA means “spoken word” in Greek
• A Place: The RHEMA USA campus is located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. It is the home base for over 250 Rhema campuses located in 51 countries around the globe
• A Family: It’s all of us together! And RBTCS is part of this worldwide RHEMA family

The mandate, “Go teach My people faith”, was given by God to Kenneth E. Hagin, the founder of RHEMA Bible Training College. Today his son, Kenneth W. Hagin, the school’s president, and daughter-in-law, Lynette Hagin, it’s director, carry out the mandate. And this mandate is cascaded throughout the worldwide RHEMA family.

Yes! Whether you feel called to the full-time ministry or the ministry of helps or would simply like to study the Bible more in-depth, RHEMA is the school for you!
