Mission

Vision

We’re thankful for FRBI for several reasons. First, it’s allowed us to receive a theological education that’s consistently biblical and pleasantly affordable, all while remaining in and ministering in our home church. Also, we’ve been delighted at the high caliber of the professors; they’re not only impressive in their knowledge but also in their ministry experience. Lastly, we’re thankful for FRBI’s unflinching love of Scripture. At FRBI students not only learn the Bible but “catch it,” as they see it lived out in their professors and fellow students.

I am the pastor of Slavic Bible Church in Colorado Springs. I became a pastor a few years ago while studying at Front Range Bible Institute. I can confidently say that God has used Front Range to influence my personal life and make me a better servant. I would highly recommend FRBI to anyone involved in the ministry who wants to obtain necessary skills for better service, and to those who just want to grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and His majestic Word. It is well worth the time & money.

FRBI has been such a blessing to Grace Bible Church. We have long desired more formal “equipping of the saints for the ministry,” & Front Range has been the answer to our prayers. Sunday School teachers, missionaries, future chaplains, saints from all walks of life have benefited from local training that allows them to continue living in Colorado Springs and remain serving in our local church.

I so appreciate the openness of FBI in allowing homeschooling families to enroll! The classes are taught by biblically grounded professors, and prepare students for life, college, and ministry. They are economical, especially to families. I really appreciate that they take only one evening a week, and are a short term commitment, finishing in @ 12 weeks. We learned so much from all of the classes we have taken, especially the Creation Science class! God bless FRBI!
