A Note from Brian It has been a great first month here at the Bible Institute. I have conversations every day with students who are excited about what they are learning in the classroom, the relationships they are building, and the ministry opportunities they are having.

A Note from Brian   It is hard to believe that our students are down to the last full month in the classroom for this school year. Then, it will be on to a tremendous summer of ministry! Having your child as a student this year has been an honor. Our student bodies (Florida and New York) are full of young men and women who will change the world in the name of Jesus Christ. I am reminded of these verses when I think about how God will use this class of students. “Now to him who is... ➜ READ MORE
