We are convinced that the Lord of the harvest has already placed the laborers we desperately need within our congregations. Many believers have the desire, but may lack the training and confidence that comes with a Bible education. Our passion is that God will use this Bible institute as a tool to raise up and equip a generation of godly leaders.
Here at the Grace Baptist Bible Institute, we believe the most life changing results are seen when both the academics and applications are exercised in the life of a believer. James 1:22 exhorts us to be “doers of the Word and not hearers only.” Our plan is that as our students are equipped in the classroom, they will become more willing and effective while ministering in the local church.
Grace Baptist Bible Institute
The Grace Baptist Bible Institute is a ministry of Grace Baptist Church and strives to be the most practical Bible School you could possibly attend.

In Proverbs, we will develop an appreciation for the wisdom and advice given for the everyday problems of man in today’s culture. In Ecclesiastes, emphasis will be placed on understanding the purpose and message of the book in which the author reflects on the meaning of life.

Ecclesiology: The Doctrine of the Local Church
Required reading for class:
The Local Church: God’s Plan for Planet Earth - by: Jim Gent
What is a local church? Why is it here? What are local churches supposed to be doing? With so many varying types of churches today, we need to use scripture as our standard for discerning what is Biblical and what is not. In this course, we will study both the establishment of the local church, and its purpose in this present dispensation. We will look at its practices, ordinances, offices, and place in the life of every believer. We will also examine examples in scripture to determine what constitutes a true New Testament local assembly. The purpose of this course is to orient people to the program of God throughout the ages, and understand how the local church fits into His program.
Pneumatology: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
Class #1: Starts at 6:00 pm
Required reading for class:
None
With so much confusion in “religion” today regarding the work of the Holy Spirit, it is vital that our theology come solely from the Word of God. What does scripture say about His ministry? Are the gifts of the Spirit for the church age? This course offers a systematic presentation of the divinity of the Holy Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity, and the ministry and personhood of the Holy Spirit. This course will also examine current misconceptions regarding the “gifts of the spirit” in the form of speaking in tongues, healings, and repeated baptism of the spirit. This course will equip you to recognize heresies that have developed and equip you to defend the faith.
