Our Vision
Encourage and assist dedicated Christians by providing a way to gain a deeper understanding of God's Word, so they will be better equipped to tell others of Christ.
Have you just trusted the Lord Jesus as your personal Saviour, or maybe you've been saved for quite some time. No matter where you are in your walk with the Lord, you should have one overwhelming desire – to read, study, and know the Bible so you can know God better.
Bridgeway Institute of Ministry and Leadership (BIML) exists to assist with this vital part of your Christian life. Although we believe there is no substitute for personal Bible Study, we understand there are times when we could all benefit from additional instruction.
If this describes you then Bridgeway Institute of Ministry and Leadership is for you!
Our vision is not only instruction, it is also the application of God's Word.
The Bible teaches that we should not study merely to gain knowledge, because knowledge "puffeth up" (1 Corinthians 8:1-2). In 2 Timothy the Apostle Paul tells Timothy, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God . . . rightly dividing the word of truth." Peter says in 1 Peter, "be ready always to give an answer to every man". However, the most important command about this was given by the Lord Jesus in Mark chapter 16, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature". These passages reveal the key. Why should we study and know God's Word in a deeper way? We do these things so that we may serve Him more fully.
This is our vision. Encourage and assist dedicated Christians, like you, to grow in grace and have a deeper understanding of God's Word, so that you are prepared to share your faith, take a stand for Christ, and serve where God has placed you.
This kind of preparation will change your life, through the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, and that is our prayer for you.
We study that we may serve Him more fully

About BIML
Bridgeway Institute of Ministry and Leadership brings Bible College instruction to you!
For some, the Lord calls them to attend Bible College to prepare for a life of full-time ministry. However, you may be one of the many dedicated Christians who the Lord has called to serve where you are. You faithfully study the Bible, serve in your local church, but would like a deeper understanding of God's Word.
The educational programme we use is practical and exciting! It is filled with personal life application and is 100% Bible- centered.
The instructional method used is chronological and comprehensive. You will have the opportunity to study every book of the Bible (usually verse by verse) in the order the events actually took place, AND you will also study every major Bible doctrine!
For those that complete the entire three year programme, there is also a growing selection of electives offered: Archaeology, Creation, Prophecy, Worldview, Angels, Apologetics, and more!
BIML is very affordable!
