BILD Partners & Local Mentors

A BILD Partner is a church, church network, or ministry organization that has at least one recognized local mentor for the purpose of using the BILD resources for church-based theological education.

A BILD local mentor is someone recognized by a church, church network, or ministry organization as having responsibility for leadership development of their existing and emerging leaders. They have taken part in Initial Training and/or been assessed and recognized for their basic knowledge of BILD, BILD resources, and CBTE skills. They also participate in Ongoing Training and Coaching to retain their recognition as Local Mentors. A local mentor commends students to Antioch School programs (no one is admitted without commendation) and supports church-based mentoring (such as use of BILD Life and Ministry Development tools and providing feedback on work in BILD Cloud).
