PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). 

UBF HQ has developed the UBF Pastoral Cohort Program to support and equip leaders, including chapter directors. Equivalent to a Master of Divinity program, it emphasizes UBF's mission, vision, and core values. This program is designed to develop leaders with sound biblical/theological foundations, leadership strength, and Christlike character. Our goal is to develop competent shepherds for God’s flock.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

• To equip ministry leaders: We want to assist and develop our leaders with sound biblical/theological foundations, leadership strength, and Christlike character.

• To prepare for pastoral ordination: For those who aspire to receive UBF ordination (such as sizable chapter directors), the certificate of the program can be considered, along with the candidates’ integrity of character and practical experiences in ministry. 

• To provide a unified teaching for UBF ministries based on sound doctrines in a biblical evangelical tradition.

What doctrine do we promote?

To promote solid teachings and godly practices within UBF communities, the educational programs we offer will be based on sound doctrines. We affirm an Evangelical, Reformed, non-denominational position, guided by a high view of Scripture and a focus on obedient, personal faith. While we are united on core doctrines, we permit differing evangelical viewpoints on lesser issues.
