SBC Welcomes Arlene Friesen

Steinbach Bible College is pleased to announce the appointment of Arlene Friesen as our new faculty member in Bible and ministry studies, effective August 1, 2012. Arlene brings a wealth of experience in worship leading, Bible teaching, and mentoring to the college. She will be teaching James to Jude, Introduction to Ministry, History of Christian Worship, and Christianity & the Imagination. She will be mentoring students, directing Student Ministries, and leading Free Servant, the chapel worship team.

Before serving as adjunct instructor at SBC, Arlene and Jacob Friesen pastored the Aylmer EMMC. Arlene served as Worship Coordinator and Youth Worker in the church for 17 years. She received a BRS from SBC, and an MTS from Tyndale Seminary.

Arlene says "It is my hope that through my teaching and mentoring at SBC, students will be encouraged to love God and neighbour more. I want to help them do this by teaching them to apply their minds to understanding God and His Word, their hearts to being shaped by His worldview and priorities, and their wills to following hard after Jesus in His example of leading by serving."

SBC offers 3 and 4 year BA degrees, a diploma, and certificate with focus areas in Bible-Theology, Children's Ministry, Global Mission, Peer Counselling, Pastoral Ministry, Worship Arts, and Youth Ministry.
