The Bridge: August 8, 2025

A Note from Brian

We’re getting closer to launching another amazing year at the Bible Institute, and our staff are hard at work preparing for your students’ arrival. We pray for an upcoming year of spiritual growth, biblical depth, and boldness to live for Christ. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of their journey.

This blog is one of the ways we’ll stay connected throughout the year. We also encourage you to join our Facebook Parent Group for real-time updates and Q&A.

We’re here to support you and your student every step of the way—whether they’re attending in New York or Florida.
