Mountain Hide College trains men and women for ministry, missions and church leadership, but mostly we aim to develop the believer to live in power— through Scripture taught faithfully, community lived honestly, and a life set apart for listening to God.
Every programme combines careful study of Scripture with practical service in a local church. Full course details, durations and entry requirements are on the Courses page.
A three-year foundation in the whole body of Scripture — Old and New Testament survey, hermeneutics and personal discipleship are among the courses offered. Ideal for anyone who wants to grow in faith and pursue ministry.
Mentorship for aspiring ministry leaders and coaching for established ministers.
Shepherding, counselling, preaching and church governance, taught by pastors still serving in congregations.
Mountain Hide College is a school of the Spirit. We carry on the legacy of Emmanuel Bible College, which started right here in the Phoenix area in 1990.
The world we live in is full of uncertainty, competing voices and constant change. In the middle of all that, we wanted to make a place where a person can slow down, deepen their faith, find some spiritual clarity, and grow a real relationship with God.
We built on the foundation of Emmanuel Bible College and kept the same love for Biblical education. What we added is a renewed vision — personal spiritual development, lifelong learning, and transformation through the Word of God.
Everything we do is anchored in Scripture:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
Through structured Biblical studies, our students explore the historical, cultural, geographical and archaeological context of Scripture. They come to appreciate the Bible more deeply, and to see how it speaks to everyday life. As they walk through the lives and experiences of Biblical figures, we invite them to reflect on their own beliefs, identity, character and spiritual maturity.
That journey does something in a person. It encourages personal growth, strengthens convictions, cultivates wisdom, and inspires a more intentional walk with God.
We are committed to developing believers who are grounded in Scripture, confident in their faith, and equipped to navigate life's challenges with spiritual discernment, resilience and purpose.
But our emphasis goes beyond gaining Biblical knowledge. We believe education should transform the individual — nurturing a faith that is understood, personally embraced, and lived out authentically.
