TRAINING
In 2004, the Church was founded, and in 2005, the first Bible school was opened in Dong Anh with about 40 students. Since then, the Word of Life Church has organized courses every year, not only in Hanoi but also in several provinces. There have been more than 5,000 students who have graduated from the first and second Bible school, including students from other churches, and many have become pastors and missionaries. Not only the Bible school, the Word of Life Church today also has many different spiritual training courses such as the Theology Course (starting in 2019), the God Experience Course (2022 to present), the Prophetic Course (2023-2024), the Effective Business Course, the Christian School and the Skills, Marriage, Family Courses...
The Holy Spirit says: I will make this place a training center, many, many, many workers, workers will be trained in this place. They will be equipped with the Word of faith, they will be equipped with spiritual weapons and I will send them out in a victorious battle. They will be raised up from this place and My Spirit will be upon them. They will go out and bring fruit to Me.

The first course
As the beginning of fulfilling the prophecy "I will make this place a training center", in March 2005, the first year Bible school was officially opened in a house in Dong Anh town. There were 36 members graduated from this first course, including those who are currently working as pastors such as Nguyen Chau Caleb (Quang Ninh, now no longer in the Word of Life), Nguyen Huy Hoang (Hanoi), Nguyen Van Doan (Thanh Tri).
Teachers: foreigners to Vietnamese
Initially, the teaching staff was mainly pastors, professors, missionaries, and graceful and experienced preachers from Russia and Sweden. Later, gradually many local pastors were raised with the same anointing to participate in the responsibility of teaching.
Open for other denominations
The Word of Life Bible courses are continuously held every year to provide knowledge, train character and transfer the anointing to the army of God. The course is open to believers of all denominations and has received great appreciation from many pastors, staff, and believers of other churches since the first course.
Bible courses for other provinces
In 2012, Senior Pastor decided to open the first Bible School in the South for 4 regions: Central Highlands, South Central, Southeast, and Southwest. From there, we have key personnel for the regions, and it is also a connection for development to the provinces and cities. In November 2019, the Word of Life Church opened the first Bible Course for ethnic people in Da Nang. In February 2020, we opened the Bible Course for pastors in Laos.
Online learning format
The COVID 19 pandemic was a push for the Church to adapt: the meetings switched to online format with small groups at home. And along with that, the Bible courses did not stop but also switched to online. That is the reason why the Word of Life Church today always has online courses in parallel with on-site learning. Thanks to this online learning format, more and more brothers and sisters in other provinces, even in other countries, participate in the study. As in 2023, the first year of the Bible course had more than 100 students studying on-site along with more than 300 students studying online, including students from Australia, the US and all over Vietnam.
Theology Course
In addition to the first and second year of the Bible course, the Word of Life Church has organized an advanced Theology course (lasting 3 years) for Pastors and servants of God. This course has had more than 40 graduates nationwide.
Since 2005, Word of Life Bible course has equipped God's word for more than 5.000 students. Many of them became pastors, evangelists and serving God in churches now.
