The PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION at Free Gospel Bible Institute is distinctively Christian, based on the persuasion that the foundation of knowledge is God’s truth and it is Christ-centered. Both the curriculum and the educational process have as a focal point, the Bible, God’s authoritative Word and only inerrant criterion for truth. Jesus Christ is the unchanging essence of all courses taught, since truth is inerrant in Him, and He is the supreme revelation of God.

FGBI recognizes that through sin all mankind is dead, but is capable of Salvation through faith in Christ’s redemptive work. The heathen are Christ’s promised inheritance. Psalm 2:8 says, “Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” Matthew 28:19-20 also says, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Our ministry and inheritance have become a mandated continuation of His, through the teaching of “all nations” and the “foolishness of preaching” in the “demonstration of the Spirit of power.”

FGBI humbly acknowledges that effectiveness in both evangelistic and educational pursuit is dependent upon our partnership with and submission to the Holy Spirit. He is the empowering Personality of Acts 1:8 and the illumination Agent of John 16:13, by Whom  only can eternal truth be correctly understood, interpreted and personalized.
