This registration means that the Bethel Bible College (St Vincent Campus) can begin its self-study process en route to receiving full accreditation.
The registration ceremony was witnessed by several regional dignitaries of the New Testament Church of God, the parent body of the Bethel Bible College. These included: the Caribbean field director Bishop Ishmael Charles; Dr Stephen Mohammed and Dr Darin Mohammed from Trinidad and Tobago; and Bishop Wendell Davis, Administrative Bishop of St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
The registration takes place after almost six years of preparation. The Bethel Bible College was formerly the St Vincent and the Grenadines Theological College. The Bethel Bible College (St Vincent Campus) is a chapter of the Bethel Bible College of Jamaica. The Bethel Bible College of Jamaica is already accredited with the University Council of Jamaica.
The instrument of registration was presented by Dr Rosalind Ambrose, chair of the National Accreditation Board and received on behalf of the College by dean of the College Reverend Chesley Ferdinand.
