MAKING DISCIPLES

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute offers biblically sound teaching resources for churches. Our high quality church curriculum can be used for adult Bible study classes, small groups, and church leadership training curriculum.  From Bible classes that lay firm Biblical foundations for new believers to a Masters’ level Biblical Hermeneutics class, the Fully Equipped Bible Institute provides the resources needed to equip Christians for “every good work.”

The church leadership curriculum or adult Bible classes include the Fully Equipped four-year program that equips believers with a strong biblical understanding and practical ministry training. At the 100-level, Bible training includes laying the foundations of understanding how to read the Bible, maintain a deep prayer life, a biblical identity in Christ, and more. The 200 and 300 level Bible training courses build on the first year foundations, including discipleship training courses and additional Bible classes. The 400-level courses include practical ministry training courses that teach leadership topics like administration, communication, and mentoring. Completion of the program effectively equips believers as Christian leaders to serve from a strong biblical foundation.
