Rev. Kenneth E.
Hagin began his ministry in Texas in 1934. For twelve years
he pastored, then traveled extensively in the evangelistic
field. In 1963, the Kenneth E. Hagin Evangelistic
Association was incorporated.
In 1966, the offices of the ministry were moved to Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and the ministry began a new era of growth. Rev.
Hagin became increasingly in demand for public meetings and
seminars, and ministered to people of all faiths across the
United States. That same year, the radio outreach ministry
was established and in 1976, the first television program
was produced.
As the ministry grew, there was need for additional printed
teaching materials. Subsequently, the RHEMA Correspondence
Bible School was formed to provide a number of home Bible
study plans. RHEMA Bible Training Center, developed by
Kenneth Hagin Jr., was founded in 1974 in response to the
need for a school that would teach the principles of faith
to those preparing for the ministry.
In 1976, the ministry and school moved to new facilities to
accommodate the many outreaches and students from across
America who were coming for intensive training in the Word
of God. In 1978, the name of the ministry was changed to
RHEMA Bible Church aka Kenneth Hagin Ministries, Inc.
RHEMA is located at 1025 W. Kenosha in Broken Arrow,
Oklahoma, a Tulsa suburb. The ministry headquarters is
located in a two-story building on the more than 110-acre
RHEMA campus which currently consists of 23 buildings
including a 96-unit student housing complex.
Rhema Bible Training Center of Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, has
been training ministers and sending them forth into the
Harvest for over 30 years. Founded in 1974 by Rev Kenneth E.
Hagin, with the purpose to provide skilled laborers for the
end-time harvest, Rhema Bible Training Center has come to
represent a standard of excellence in ministerial training
as there are over 35,000 graduates ministering in more than
114 countries of the world and 14 Rhema Bible Training
Centers worldwide.
Rhema India Bible Training Center, founded by Rev. & Mrs.
N.Y. Thorat in Nagpur, India, is honored to be part of the
Rhema network around the world, providing the same standard
of excellence through a balanced, anointed bible based
curriculum taught by a faculty of proven anointed ministers.
