The Bear Trail Bible Institute

“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” – 2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV)

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)


The Bible is very clear on the need to learn, study and teach the Bible. For this reason, the Bear Trail Bible Institute was created.

The Bear Trail Bible Institute is a 4 year Bible institute out of the Bear Trail Baptist Church. Unlike many of the larger or modern schools, we have no interest in talking you out of your faith in the Bible, teaching you how to speak Greek or Hebrew, or teaching you how to run a commercial ministry. Instead, our goal is to teach people the Bible so that they will be equipped with the tools they need to live the Christian life, witness to the lost, and “teach others also.”

We invite any and all to attend our classes. If you would like to attend without testing, that is perfectly fine and we would enjoy your presence in our classes. For those who are interested in graduating from our Bible institute, we do offer testing, grading, and a graduation certificate.

For those that are interested in graduating, please keep in mind that you will have to earn it. These are not simple classes! The teaching and tests are designed to challenge you and help you grow as a Christian, and will require hard work and patience.

While this is a great way to get the knowledge and experience you need for a future in service to the Lord, we cannot guarantee you a position in this or any other church upon graduation. However, we will do all that we can to help you to fulfill the Lord’s will in your life.

All of the teaching from the Bear Trail Bible Institute can be found on our website and Youtube channel.
