Front Range Bible Institute

About Front Range Bible Institute

Learn about our mission, values, leadership, and the people who make FRBI a place of biblical learning and spiritual growth.

Statement of Faith

We believe in BIBLICISM, the absolute authority and sufficiency of Scripture as our ultimate guide for faith and practice. While we learn much from creeds, confessions, and the Christian tradition, we go to Scripture as our final authority in all matters of doctrine and life. This commitment to BIBLICISM shapes every aspect of our academic programs and ministry training.

Read Our Complete Statement of Faith

Our faith is rooted in the fundamental truths of Christianity as revealed in Scripture, including:

The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Salvation by Grace

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Biblical Inerrancy

We believe that the Bible is without error in all that it affirms and is our supreme authority.

The Great Commission

We believe in fulfilling Christ's command to make disciples of all nations.

Why Choose FRBI?

FRBI stands apart through its multi-church, regional model—bringing together gifted pastor-teachers from across the Front Range to provide accessible, rigorous biblical training. We're raising the bar while extending the reach.

Students studying together

Multi-Church Strength

Learn from multiple gifted pastor-teachers in their areas of expertise—Old Testament, New Testament, theology, biblical counseling. You're not shaped by one church culture, but equipped through diverse pastoral wisdom. Students aren't tied to one congregation's fortunes; multiple pastors invest directly, ensuring consistent, excellent training.

Central Hub Community

Concentrated, in-person formation creates momentum and sharpening that dispersed or remote-first models can't replicate. Our central location draws bright minds and committed hearts together for life-on-life pastoral formation—not shortcuts through screens.

Accessible On-Ramp to Excellence

Certificate programs broaden the funnel—inviting lay leaders and ministry explorers to "come and see" through flexible, affordable, credit-transferable courses. Then we raise the bar: uncompromising seminary training with biblical languages and rigorous standards when others are lowering theirs.

Church-Integrated, Not Church-Isolated

We welcome students from any sound church without creating barriers or competition. Your home church remains your primary ministry context—we simply equip you alongside other believers from across the region through church-based accountability and regional collaboration.

Faculty Mentorship That Shapes Lives

Our professors invest beyond the classroom—meeting with students, opening Scripture, and modeling shepherd-hearted leadership. Formation happens life-on-life.
