The Greatest Need

Our Story

95% of pastors globally have never received any formal biblical education to equip them for ministry. The barriers to biblical education are finances and technology.

As the world grows darker, we sense the urgency to equip faithful pastors and Christian leaders who are serving in difficult and dangerous places. When pastors are “fully equipped for every good work”, they have the sound theological doctrine and practical ministry skills to strengthen believers that need biblical teaching and training. As pastors are strengthened, the Church globally will be stronger.

50,000 new believers are coming to faith every day. New pastors and Christian leaders are urgently needed to disciple the new believers, helping them to grow into strong Christians.

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute is highly focused on meeting this urgent need. We are biblically equipping Christian pastors, leaders, and serious followers of Jesus to obediently fulfill the call of Christ on their lives.

Student Shout Outs

“ As a Christian I have studied God’s word for 25 years. After taking Dr. Isaac's Biblical Hermeneutics course my eyes were opened to just how much I was missing. For the first time in my life, I was able to understand the word of God as He intended it for me. Every Christian interested in knowing God’s will with a deeper understanding of His word should take this course. I highly recommend it!.”

I have taken the Biblical Worldview course with Professor Isaac several times. Each time I take the course, I am challenged to continue to align my thoughts and actions with God's Word.

Pastor Merryman is one of the most gifted teachers of God's Word that I have ever had the privilege of learning from. His deep understanding of God's Word is paired with a down-to-earth style and emphasis on practical application.

Professor Isaac is a passionate and inspirational teacher of Scriptures. I have taken several classes under her leadership. She provides insight and clarity for every passage. Her lessons are engaging and she asks provocative questions to challenge her students and stimulate their thinking. Professor Isaac seeks to make the Scriptures applicable in our everyday life.

"The curriculum is challenging, and the faculty amazing. It is helps me grow in my relationship and walk with Christ. Biblical training is also equipping me to align my decision making with God's Word and His plans for the people we serve. For anyone looking to grow in their Christian journey, better equip themselves to serve, and even earn credits and university level degrees, I highly recommend the Fully Equipped Bible Institute."

I am blessed by the Fully Equipped Bible Institute. Be part of this of this institute!
