Israel College of the Bible

Israel College of the Bible (ICB) was founded in 1990 by several Israeli pastors who believed that establishing a national Bible College was necessary to serve the indigenous Israeli Messianic Body. Today, Jewish and Arab believers come from all over Israel to study the Bible, theology, counseling, and practical ministry at both the BA and MA levels. ICB is located in Netanya, Israel (in the greater metropolitan area of Tel Aviv) and is accredited by both the Asia Theological Association (ATA) and the European Council for Theological Education (ECTE). Both the ECTE and the ATA are members of the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE). DTS students will have the opportunity to take master-level courses with ICB, either in Israel or online, and ICB students will have the opportunity to take master-level courses at DTS, either in Dallas or online.
