The Need for a Training Program
May 1995 - Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
Over 60 concerned
Grace leaders met to pray and discuss the formation of a training program to produce
much needed pastors, missionaries, and local church workers.
Representing well over
50 years as part of the Grace Movement and tracing its mid-Acts dispensational roots
back to the Apostle Paul, this session voiced a need for a Bible Institute training
program for leaders in today’s Grace assemblies.
This focused goal would necessitate equally focused founders, faculty, students,
and constituency. It was decided that the school would operate free from all government
assistance programs and be solely maintained by God’s supply via His people. The
Milwaukee, Wisconsin area was chosen as a central location for the training Institute.
Research and Planning
Summer and Fall 1995
The research and planning committees convened under the auspices of the Berean Bible
Society Board of Directors. The consensus was to have the school operational by
the fall of 1996. However, the Board realized the exact timing would be completely
in God’s power.

The Need of the Hour
The over-riding burden of the hour is to equip godly and committed
students to enter the ministry of “preaching Jesus Christ according to the revelation
of the mystery.” The school will teach all Scripture in accordance with the dispensational
principle of “rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (II Tim. 2:15).
