Anchor Baptist Bible Institute

"Anchoring disciples in the truths of God's word..."

Purpose

Our burden as a church is to “Anchor believers in the truths of God’s word.”

Opportunities

We have carefully designed each regularly scheduled gathering with a unique focus to meet specific aspects of this goal. Adult Sunday School classes offer opportunities for studying books of the Bible, developing our understanding of basic Bible doctrines, and addressing foundational issues. ABBI has been designed to take that focus and expand it in a way that would make a typical Bible College course of studies accessible to the average church member free of charge.

Program

Classes will run in three, three-month semesters cycles on Tuesday evenings from 7-9 pm.
