Welcome to Trinity Bible Institute

We are honored that you would consider Trinity Bible Institute (TBI) to further your Christian Education. The TBI program maintains a biblical foundation and is designed to teach students, through practical application, a deeper knowledge of God’s Holy Word. For years, our prayer has been to extend our On Campus Program to students outside our local community; and God’s timing and provision are now making this possible. The TBI On Campus Program has launched several satellite locations to help facilitate your education, in addition to our Home Campus. The TBI Online Program launched in the Fall of 2020. We are excited about new opportunities and look forward to our journey together for the cause of Christ.

TBI Bulletin

We are very excited and blessed by what God is doing at Trinity Bible Institute (TBI), and we would like to take a moment to share a brief praise report with you!

TBI launched the 2025–2026 school year with incredible momentum, celebrating a record-breaking enrollment of 600 students! As we step into our Fall Semester in August of 2026, the excitement continues to build as we are revamping our curriculum to take TBI to the next level in Christian education.  

We celebrated our first-ever bilingual graduation ceremonies, proudly welcoming the inaugural graduating Associate class of IBT (Instituto Bíblico Trinity). 

 What an amazing outpouring of people who desire to deepen their walk with the Lord. We consider this a high honor and responsibility that they have chosen TBI to help increase their knowledge of God’s Holy Word.

A few current highlights at TBI include:
• Reaching students globally in Africa, El Salvador, Honduras, India, and France.
• Spanish TBI classes are now in their second year, offered both On Campus and Online, with 38 students enrolled.
• The new Post-Master of Biblical Counseling Crisis and Trauma Course currently had 37 students.
• Kershaw Correctional Institution has a total of 45 students, including its first Bachelor class. Since June 2023, there have been 388 salvations.

Please know that you are making a difference in these student’s lives and that your labor is not in vain. We are forever grateful and blessed by your continued prayers and support. We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done and continue to do for TBI.

TBI "Beyond Bars" Prison Ministry

The “Beyond Bars” Prison Ministry is taking the TBI educational program into the prison system to help men and women grow in their personal Christian walk, as well as to equip them to help minister to their family, friends, and others within the prison.

The first TBI prison satellite campus at the Kershaw Correctional Institution launched in June 2023. This is an all-male facility with approximately 1,500 inmates. TBI has the opportunity to bring a weekly TBI class into the prison (via video). Students follow the same weekly class and homework routine as the other TBI Satellite Campuses. Through the TBI “Beyond the Bars” Program we have been granted additional opportunities at the prison to preach and teach. Currently, over 300 men have been born again and over 100 have been baptized since the program began in June 2023.

We are so thankful for God’s goodness and for our faithful sponsors and prayer partners!

Your generosity and prayers are making a significant impact.

Prayerfully consider supporting the Beyond Bars Prison Ministry by becoming a…
  • Prayer Partner                             
  • Student Support Partner 
 For more information, please visit the Prison Educational Ministry page under Programs.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
 

From the Dean’s Desk…

Dear students,

We have just finished graduation—and what a time of worship and fellowship it was! We celebrated over 300 students walking across the stage to receive their diplomas and certificates. What a powerful and joyful occasion!

Registration for the 2026–2027 school year opens May 1st, and you’ll want to reserve your spot early as we are expecting record attendance this year.

We are especially excited about the upcoming year, as we will be offering new and revised courses designed to elevate your educational experience here at TBI.

We pray everyone has a wonderful and restful summer break, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the fall.
