SPIMS - For Better Equipped Coptic Orthodox Ministers
“St. Paul Institute for Ministry Studies” – SPIMS is one of the delightful fruits of the service of Evangelism.
Evangelism service depends mainly on education and self-development since its establishment. The source of inspiration was the Archdeacon Habib Girgis and his struggle in spreading the correct Christian education.
One of the most important goals of Evangelism is that each servant would become a “beacon” that radiates the light of Christ’s teachings to the whole world. Hence, the dream of “the beacon” began to grow until the dream came true in 2018 with the blessing of His Holiness Pope Tawadros II when His Holiness agreed to establish an institute specialized in ministry and evangelism studies.
Vision:
Spread the Light to all nations and ignite the spirits, minds and hearts with the fire of a loving knowledge of God.

“In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.” (Tit 2: 7-8)
