PLCC BIBLE INSTITUTE
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” -Psalm 119:105
PLCC Bible Academy was created to give Bronx residents access to free high quality and theologically accurate Bible studies that challenge and affirm our knowledge about our faith. The cornerstone class of PLCC is our highly acclaimed Experiencing God class based on the “Experiencing God” book by Richard and Henry Blackaby. This class teaches adult students of all levels how to have a deeper relationship with God and is the prerequisite course for serving in ministry at PLCC. Other classes we have had are “Reason for God” by Timothy Keller, “Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren and more. Each class is taught by one of our Pastors who have taught at prestigious seminaries such as Alliance Theological Seminary and Fordham University. PLCC Bible Academy is overseen by our Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Michael Carrion.


God once declared everything in the world “very good.”
Can you imagine it?
A Vision of Hope for a Broken World
Shalom is what God declared. Shalom is what the Kingdom of God looks like.
Shalom is when all people have enough.
It’s when families are healed.
It’s when churches, schools, and public policies protect human dignity.
Shalom is when the image of God is recognized in every single human.
Shalom is our calling as followers of Jesus’s gospel. It is the vision God set forth in the Garden and the restoration God desires for every relationship.

Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God’s purposes for putting us on earth.
The Purpose-Driven Life takes the groundbreaking message of the award-winning Purpose-Driven Church and goes deeper, applying it to the lifestyle of individual Christians. This book helps readers understand God’s incredible plan for their lives. Warren enables them to see the big picture of what life is all about and begin to live the life God created them to live.
