Benin Bible Institute
Originally, oriented to the needs of African-Initiated Churches, the quality of biblical teaching at Benin Bible Institute (BBI) now attracts evangelical, Pentecostal and mainline Protestant churches as well. BBI organizes classes for one week each month. This rhythm permits church leaders to remain in their communities while pursuing further education. A fast-paced weekend seminar designed to attract professionals who serve as lay leaders in their congregations complements the five-day course intended for pastors. The Monday-Friday sessions are translated into an African language for church leaders.
