Our Mission

Jesus Bible Institute is an evangelical interdenominational school serving New Jersey churches by teaching biblical studies that is centered on Jesus Christ. Rather than function as a degree-seeking institution, the aim of JBI is to offer biblical studies for Christians who simply desire to learn for their own edification. It is also for Christians who are church educators such as teachers, youth pastors, elders, and deacons. JBI provides a formal traditional classroom setting taught at a college level. In short, it is for all Christians who desire to benefit themselves and the people of God in their local church.
