TBI and the School of Ministry seek as their mission the Hebraic Orientation of Education, and desire to “give it away” to all of those who feel called and who desire to be equipped for ministry. At TBI each student is individually accessed and is helped to discern the educational path that best suits their present and future calling and goals. All persons must apply and have the recommendation of their Pastor or Spiritual Director to enter any of the programs. Class costs are kept to a minimum. TBI and the School of Ministry do not charge tuition. The expense of books and materials needed for each class are the financial responsibility of every learner.
Classes and degrees that are offered through other institutions will be offered by those institutions at their determination. TBI will assist the student and will facilitate the classes, but will not charge anything in addition to or on top of what the other institutions may charge. TBI and the School of Ministry courses are “given away” in the ministry and the name of the One who has given all for us: Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. A general application form to TBI must be completed by every potential student. Those application forms can be obtained from the Pilgrim Church Office by calling 419-478-6012.
TBI is overseen by its Dean of Students Rev.Dr. Lawrence Michael Cameron.
