Purpose of BTI
The ministry of Bible Training Institute is devoted to training people in the foundations of the Word of God. This training not only encompasses doctrine, but it also incorporates aspects of business, polity, and procedure. Bible Training Institute has, throughout the years, been a success in providing the Church many laborers to go forth in the needy fields of labor to advance the Church's work and ministry.

BTI & the Great Commission

Let's face it. A church that doesn't reproduce (evangelize) is destined to eventually die off. Local churches cannot depend on "adding" to the church by the natural growth of its members having children. Such growth should not be seen as natural if it occurs in the absence of active evangelism, because this will not only produce slow growth but ultimately will become stunted growth. 

Without the fruits of evangelism, there is nothing in the Church that is real enough to KEEP our children in the Church. If we are not persuaded enough by our own experience or excited enough about that experience to share it with others in a convincing way, how are we to convince our children that it is real and worth making a lifetime--nay, eternal--commitment to. 

The Church cannot survive on tradition and must not try to do so. The Church survives AND THRIVES on the kind of ongoing revival, which refocuses the members in their priorities and commitment to Christ, and thereby fans the flames of evangelism. Evangelism and revival go hand in hand. A church without a heart for evangelism is a church without the heart of Christ. A church without the heart of Christ is built upon tradition and has little power to influence, because the Holy Spirit is absent in any real sense that involves giving power for service in the real world. Eventually, that church begins to lose its young people, because as they come of age they become disillusioned with mere tradition and the subsequent lack of spiritual fruit. 

BTI is one of the most effective tools currently in operation in the Church, in that it is a means for inspiring our members (young and old) with God's purpose and design, acquainting them with the operation of the Holy Spirit (giving power for service), helping them to find their own place and ministry in the Body, and equipping them to serve in the capacity that God intends for them. Those who attend BTI usually report coming to a place of divine revelation, becoming aware of the calling of God upon their lives, and feeling more convinced of His direction for their lives than they have ever felt before. That calling may not be to teach or to pastor, but it does involve serving the Body of Christ in any number of ways, influencing those around us in a positive and spiritual way, and winning souls to Christ.

What's more, the result of divine revelation, as is often experienced while attending the inspired and anointed classes at BTI, leads members to serve not out of a sense of duty or peer pressure but out of an all-consuming love for Christ and others. Such revelation, in which the love of Christ pours into and then through the members,  compels them to reach the lost and introduce them to the Savoir. 

This divine passion is the true heartbeat of the Church, and the reason that BTI exists.

Bible Training Institute was not created solely for those who feel a calling to the ministry. It was created as a way to take every member deeper into the Word of God and give them the tools they need to become what God designed for them to be. Many discover, while attending BTI, that they have a calling they did not realize they had. In addition, they receive the direction they need to better understand and fulfill that calling. They learn to depend upon the Holy Spirit and thereby bear spiritual fruit in the same way that a branch bears fruit, as a result of the connection it shares with the vine.

BTI helps members become more connected than they have ever been, both to the Body and to Christ. The result is a life that blossoms with purpose and in which the spirit of evangelism is evident in every thing they do. This simultaneously enables them to reproduce the vision and zeal that Christ has imparted and enables the Church to fulfill the Great Commission.
