WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE FOR BISHOPS
The College for Bishops provides a community of formation and education for newly-consecrated, active and retired bishops of the Pentecostal Church, assisting them to better serve as leaders in God’s mission. This virtual college is a program of The Pentecostal Church and functions in collaboration with AIUTS, Inc. as a resource of the House of Bishops’ Office of Pastoral Development
The Joint College of African-American-European Pentecostal Bishops exists to train and educate newly appointed Bishops with a strong emphasis on healthy family development.
The College will accomplish this goal by providing Seminars, Workshops, and opportunities for fellowship and spiritual covering for those who desire a standard of excellence in Ministry.
Through a disciplined and structured environment, which promotes Biblical knowledge, spirituality, physical and emotional health, and prosperity, the College provides leadership and guidance and simplified answers to important ministerial issues, all in an effort to Preserve, Protect, and Promote the Testaments, Teachings and Traditions of the Church.
(Bishop Frances. Vega Jr. U.S.A.)
A BRIEF HISTORY
In September 2009,Two Apostles and Three bishops of the Penecostal community had a conversation In Valencia Spain regarding the need for training Pentecostal Bishops-elect for the office to which they had been called. One of the hallmark statements by one of the Apostle was "A person becomes an Apostle or bishop without any idea what the Apostolic or bishopric entails. There is no rehearsal, no trial period, no sampling of their skills in administration and certainly there is no way of knowing how that bishop will deal with other pastors who shall be committed to his care
It was with that need and urgency in mind that the Apostles and bishops agreed the Presiding Bishop Prince Nnams, Primate of the Great Achievers International Church Inc, would serve as a Chairman and conveyer of a "College of Bishops" for Pentecostal Prelates with a special empahasis on African-American-European- Bishops.

Apostolic Succession
The Kingdom Builders Global Network & Ministerial Fellowship (KBGNMF), believes that in all ordinations and consecrations the One who truly ordains and consecrates is God, who through the words and acts of a bishop in the Apostolic Succession, along with other representatives, and in response to the prayers of His Church, ordains, commissions and empowers for the office and work to which they are called the persons whom it has selected. In the earliest ordination of which we have record, that described in Acts 6:16, the following parts appear: election by the people, prayer and the laying on of apostolic hands. This pattern describes for us the scriptural and historical authority for the essential elements in ordination services; the same three parts form the basis for every ordination in the Kingdom Builders Global Network & Ministerial Fellowship (K.B.G.N.M.F)
1. THE PRESENTATION of the candidates to one of the bishops, this being the last step in the process of choice of them by the church
2. THE PRAYER for those about to be ordained or consecrated, that they may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for their ministry and
THE LAYING ON OF HANDS of at least three Apostles / bishops (in an Episcopal consecration), of the bishop and presbyters (in an ordination of presbyters), or of the bishop (in an ordination of deacons).To these have been added an examination of the candidates concerning their beliefs and duties, proper vesting according to their order, the delivering to them of the instruments of their office, and the presentation and greeting of the newly ordained.
The above three steps are the means used by the original apostles themselves and are still in use today. This is considered necessary for valid ordination, together with the correct intention on the part of the ordaining bishop. This is why the succession of bishops from the apostles down to our own day is so carefully guarded and maintained. In the Kingdom Builders Global Network and Ministerial Fellowhip, we have been wonderfully blessed with a rich and variegated Apostolic Succession that connects us to many branches of the Great Achievers Churches, both east and west.
The Kingdom Builders Global Network and Ministerial Fellowship believes that the ministry is a gift of God through Christ to His church, which He has given for the perfecting of the life and service of all its members. The Church as a whole is a priestly body, since it is the Body of Christ, the great High Priest. All its members, according to the measure of the gift of Christ, share in its priestly nature. Yet from the beginning, God has entrusted particular ministries to particular persons within it, and these have, through the Church, received the commission of Christ.
The ordained ministry of the Kingdom Builders Global Network and Ministerial Fellowship, in consists of bishops, presbyters and deacons. In accepting this ministry, the KBGNMF desires to maintain continuity with the historic ministry of the Church as it has come down to us from early times through what is commonly known as the historic Apostolic Succession. An ordination service is the sacramental rite by which one of these ministries is conferred. It is an act of God in His Church
