What is the one thing that hobbles revival and church growth

in western churches, and what are the many forms it takes?

How reviewing the fundamental, foundation principles of

the doctrine of Christ will bring worldwide revival.

How to break through the barriers separating you from an

Intimate covenant relationship with Christ Jesus.

How to be free of the shackles of fear, depression,

unworthiness, ill-health, and spiritual attacks.

God's three keys to the kingdom, the Gospel of Salvation,

and His seven-step plan to full maturity ... to be conformed

to the fullness of the stature of Christ.

At the New and Better Covenant Academy, You will receive an excellent education in theology, and learn how to become activated in the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the Word of God. When you are born again of spirit and of water, you become one spirit with Him. Just knowledge about the Bible and Christ Jesus does not make you able to minister. You must become His ambassador, His hand extended. While on Earth, He was fully man. He did only what He saw the Father do, and as a man only could work through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. He has given us all the tools and power that He had as a man. We must grow in Him to learn how to use the tools He has given us. We must be conformed to His image and likeness (Rom.8:29). Like Him during His earthly ministry, our knowledge and power come only through His indwelling Holy Spirit.

We must "grow up into Him in all things which is the head even Christ" Eph. 4:15. Our calling is "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unit of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ". Eph.4:12-13.

Do you need training and a mentor to help you to grow in Christ, start or expand your ministry, or earn a degree in theology, but can’t imagine it fitting into your busy schedule?

We’ve built an online Bible academy that provides you with the benefits of live training, but without the constraints. Take individual courses, receive a certificate in an area of study, or earn a Bachelor of Arts in New and Better Covenant Theology.

New and Better Covenant Academy offers high quality online video training that you can watch on your own time. You can learn on your own time — and grow on your own time. We pour passion, knowledge, and activation into our classes. Which means the course won’t just engage you; with activation you will find a higher place in the Kingdom of God.

You’ll become more knowledgeable, and more capable, empowered by His Holy Spirit to be a representative of Christ Jesus and an Ambassador of the Kingdom of God.

Furthermore, we’ve worked hard to make our content is both easy to understand and easy to implement. We approach the Scripture with a contextual and historic viewpoint. We allow scripture to define scripture. We look at the whole arc of the Bible narrative to find the meaning of a concept. We walk you through step-by-step until you complete the entire online curriculum.

Think about it … There’s never been a better time to grow your knowledge of the Word and transform your life, putting on the mind of Christ. There’s never been a time in history when world-class education was so accessible! The internet has changed everything. The path to personal growth, revival and spreading the gospel wide open. And so now is the time to train for ministry, to fulfill your calling as a Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher, or missionary.

Your Teacher, Dr. Richard Yarbrough

In 1963, I realized that although I was baptized, I had not been born again. A bible teacher, later to be my Pastor, led me in a true salvation experience. The infilling with His Holy Spirit, and power came a week later.

In 1969, I became a founding member of Word of Life Fellowship in Redwood City, California. I became a Bible teacher in 1971, a licensed minister in 1978 and, in the mid-80s, I was ordained as an elder in that Church, an honor I still hold. I earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Crown Institute of Theology.

Dr. Yarbrough is an Amazon Kindle best-selling author. He has completed the Word of Life Fellowship School of Ministry. He also has completed the Praise Tabernacle correspondence Bible course taught by Apostle Kelley Varner. He has graduated from the S.P.I.R.I.T. School of Ministry and has completed four years of Welton Academy Supernatural Bible School. He earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Crown Institute of Theology at 74 years of age. He is currently volunteering with a group of graduates and staff of CIT to write a series of textbooks for use in missions in several African nations. Richard Yarbrough has been married for 47 years to his life and ministry partner Cheryl Yarbrough. They have three children, nine grandchildren, and six great-grand children.

What People are Saying About Dr. Rick

For over 20-years, Rick Yarbrough led our Water Baptism classes, here at Word of Life Fellowship. During that period of time, Rick taught literally hundreds of hungry new believers and prepared them for one of the greatest life-changing experiences in Christianity – Covenant Water Baptism. And he did not restrict his courses to the basic “outward-sign-of-an-inward-work” teaching.The depth and magnitude of the revelation on this subject, and the way it is threaded throughout the entire Bible is nothing short of remarkable.

If you’re hungry and thirsty for greater depth on the subject of Water Baptism, get ready to drink from “the Firehose”!
