The Leadership School of Ministry
Three modules, from building a strong relationship with God to fulfilling His purpose for your life. The path most students take first.
Since 2001
Leadership Bible Training Institute.
Victory Sanctuary’s Bible school. Raising faithful men and women who will be able to teach others also.
Life transformation. Equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. Ephesians 4:12
Victory Sanctuary Leadership Bible Training Institute exists to direct, re-direct and preserve the value of every Christian. Its courses equip people for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:12) and raise faithful men and women who will teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2).
There is a treasure, a goldmine, in everyone. The Institute helps men and women recognise their gifts and potential, and apply them in daily life, in ministry to God, in the body of Christ and in society. Its purpose, in one phrase, is life transformation.

From the Provost
“Graduation is not the end, it is the beginning of a greater calling. You were not trained to sit on your certificate. You were trained to go out and make disciples of all nations.”
Pastor David Olubukola Ajide
Provost, to the graduating class of 2026
From the Registrar
“This graduation is not the end, but the beginning. You have not just completed the school, you have been launched into destiny. This training was not to give you a certificate to frame and hang; it was to set your life on fire for God.”
