For well over twenty years now, Christian leaders from virtually every Christian tradition have been complaining about the issue of biblical illiteracy in America. Almost everyone in this country owns a Bible, but far too few take time to read them and much less study them closely. Rhema Bible Institute is a biblically based and Christ-centered educational ministry with a heart for people and a commitment to excellence.

Rhema Bible Institute is a two-year, non-degree-granting institution and is an educational outreach of New Beginnings Christian and H Lee Clay Ministries. This program of study is perfect for the average person in the pew who desires to receive advanced training in Bible and ministry skills. Our mission is to educate each student within a rigorous academic atmosphere so that he or she might receive structured discipleship in order to live his or her life with maximum effectiveness for the Lord.

A refreshing exposure to a diversity of teaching styles and ministry philosophy makes the Rhema Bible Institute experience unique. Resident faculty teach Bible Survey and Theology the entire first year providing a unified overview of the 66 books of the Bible and the principle doctrines of the Christian faith. Rhema is currently seeking an affiliation as a "Member School" with the Evangelical Training Association.

Our Goals

• To make the Gospel of Jesus Christ known to the lost throughout the world.
• To edify believers and promote personal Bible study.

Our Emphasis

Without reservation, all teaching at RBI is carried out according to the biblical principle of “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (II Tim. 2:15) in light of the distinctive message of God’s matchless Grace revealed to and through the Apostle Paul. RBI promotes the universal proclamation of “Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery” (Rom. 16:25)

At the Rhema Bible Institute we offer courses in both Practical Theology and Biblical Studies. We do both in a systematic kind of way which makes learning the Bible and Theology very simple because it is done in a very orderly way.

Systematic theology is a discipline of Christian theology that attempts to formulate an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the Christian faith and beliefs. Inherent to a system of theological thought is that a method is developed, one which can be applied both broadly and particularly. ...

“Systematic” refers to something being put into a system. Systematic theology is, therefore, the division of theology into systems that explain its various areas. For example, many books of the Bible give information about the angels. Systematic theology takes all the information about angels from all the books of the Bible and organizes it into a system called angelology.
