Our Story

The life of the Philippine School of Scriptures (PSS) began in the month of May, year 2002 when Dr. GIL M LAURENA, Pastor of the Christian Bible Baptist Church – Christian Soldiers’ Impact, saw the need of training young people for involvement in the ministry to cater to the spiritual needs not only of Filipinos but also foreigners. Being driven by a passion of lost souls and burdened for the country, our Pastor decided to put up at once the college.

              The CBBC ministry was started in 1987 by Pastor Gil M Laurena, who is still the current Pastor. Through the conduct of relentless Soul Winning, Visitations, Bible studies from house to house the ministry started to grow. As it grew, places of gathering were moved from one place to another until it was first settled at the Bonifacio Naval Station in Makati City where it was established as a church in 1990.

              The church and its ministries continued to expand, the members being taught on confrontational soul winning. Soon vehicles were purchased thus, the bus ministry was started which brought a very big blow for the church growth.

The church is blessed with an auditorium that seats up to 3,000 people. Adjacent to it stands a three-storey building that serves as the quarters and mess hall. Across from the church auditorium is another building that houses a convenience store, the PSS Lounge, a rest center for church members, and the PSS administrative office. These facilities reflect the church’s continued growth and commitment to meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of its members and students.

              Pastor Gil Laurena has a God-given vision for the advancement of His work. As part of this vision, he founded the Philippine School of Scriptures (PSS)—a ministry dedicated to the biblical training of Baptist believers. Today, PSS stands as a vital institution committed to equipping men and women to understand the Word of Truth and faithfully serve in the Lord’s vineyard

Philosophy

The PSS strives to maintain a balance between Theology and Practice. Subject matters are geared towards strengthening church (local) ministries and allow actual ministry performance, all of which, graded or not graded are aimed at evangelizing the world and educating for evangelism. The Authorized King James Bible 1611 is used in all class works and assignments. No other books are studied and preached except this precious Book of Faith.

Purpose

The Philippine School of Scriptures was established to train individuals who were called by God and who are committed to God’s Word, have compassion on the lost and are willing to be use as instruments to change people’s lives towards the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Christian Bible Baptist Church, Christian Soldiers’ Impact, under God’s direction, established the Bible College not to compete with other Bible Institutions but to carry out its mission of preparing and training young men and women who were called by God for the work in the ministry through sound academic instruction, practical ministry involvement and military-like form of discipline.

The Bible College aim to send out graduates who will create IMPACT on the Lord’s ministry by establishing Old Fashion, Bible-Believing and Fundamental Local Churches.
