ABOUT US
Praise Bible Institute provides a two-year study of doctrine and faith. If you’ve ever considered going deeper into the Word of God and learning about the deeper truths in an educational setting, this is your opportunity.

Praise Bible Institute is a part of Praise Education, a ministry of Praise Family Church.
ACADEMICS
Our programs have been developed through years of careful thought and study.
Year 1 is foundational in nature and required for all students. It is designed to give each student a solid foundation for their own personal life and Christian walk. Year 1 addresses the four areas where Satan tries to keep a believer from being successful in life: faith, health, provision, and character. Year 1 also includes courses on the ministry of Jesus and a survey of the New Testament.

Year 2 is designed to give students a "jump start" into fulfilling the call of God on their lives. These courses provide training in such basics as Bible study, prayer, preaching, various giftings, and flowing with the anointing. Year 2 also includes a survey of the Old Testament as well as a course designed to help students discover their own purpose in the Kingdom of God.

SCHEDULE
We meet on Thursday nights from 6:00 – 8:30 PM for instruction. See our Spring 2025 course schedule.
We also have an instructor staffed study hall hour from 3 – 4 PM on Thursdays to help answer additional questions or give advice to students.
MATRICULATION
We have a matriculation agreement with Life Christian University so that our students have an avenue to receive academic recognition for their courses taken through the Praise Bible Institute.
Note: College credit is granted through Life Christian University and not PBI. Praise Bible Institute is an unaccredited, non-degree granting program.
It is important to understand the difference between Bible programs and liberal arts programs. We only provide theological instruction that will transfer to similar institutions. Our programs are similar (but not affiliated with) Rhema Bible College, Kenneth Copeland Bible College, Charis Bible College, and others. Students should check with their denomination or ministry prior to enrollment and to confirm acceptance of PBI to fulfill educational requirements.
Note: The Praise School of Ministry, not PBI, helps students fulfill the educational requirements for licensing with the Assemblies of God.
TUITION & FEES
Each course is $200, equaling $2,000 per year. All courses include textbooks.
We also have an audit program available. Audit students have a textbook included, but will not be on a diploma track, take tests, write papers, or be eligible for matriculation to Life Christian University without upgrading. It is $150 to audit a course.
The non-refundable application fee for both diploma and audit students is $50.
