The Bible is the reliable and indestructible foundation for all true progress of humanity. Its origin is of God, our Creator, and its supreme theme is Jesus Christ His Son (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 10:7).

The main goal of this institution is to address the lack of Bible knowledge in America, by reintroducing the study of the Bible tat higher academic levels. We aim to provide comprehensive Biblical education to equip the saints with a solid understanding of the Bible in private and public life.
