Our goal to prepare Urban people for Urban ministry. City Bible Institute (C.B.I.) exist to help meet this purpose. We believe the goal of birthing Urban Churches and ministries depends largely upon identifying interested persons from the Inner and Outer Urban areas of St. Louis and then provide them with an excellent academic and practical Bible Institute experience. We offer people from the inner city a relevant EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM that deals with the major hindrances that they face in becoming prepared for ministry in the Assemblies of God. These hindrances include:
- Past Educational Experience
- Family Demands
- Second Career entry into ministry
- Finances
- Inability to leave St. Louis for coursework
CITY BIBLE INSTITUTE is:
-RELEVANT
-LOCAL
-FLEXIBLE
-ATTAINABLE
-SPIRIT FILLED
We firmly believe the best way to birth Churches in the inner city is to identify, train and assist persons from neighborhoods in St. Louis to be the birthing Pastor. If we are to have a good pool of newly trained Inner City Ministers, we must be prepared to meet them where they are and provide them with what they need to succeed.
