Message from the president

                 Black Hills Biblical Institute

Not once in the book of Esther does the name of God appear. But anyone who reads Esther sees the hand of God on every page, working through people to accomplish His salvation in desperate times. That was Mordecai's encouragement to his fearful Esther, "who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14).

Mordecai's reminder is a kind of watchword for Black Hills Biblical Institute. The long-time vision for such a school has come to realization in desperate times: God has raised up Black Hills Biblical Institute "for such a time as this." In a culture of skeptics, we believe that God has spoken truth without error in His Word. In a world that slouches in mediocrity, we believe that God has called us to rigorous study. In this "culture of death," God has us called to proclaim life and hope. In a loveless age, we harbor a passion to know and love God, and in love to take the gospel of His Son boldly into these times.

If God leads you to BHBI, expect to be challenged. The Bible will be your primary text; but an outstanding faculty will also teach you to "read" the culture. And through all of your study and learning, you will be part of a family of believers who hunger and thirst for the glory of God, and who "consider one another to stir up love and good works (Heb. 10:24).

The Black Hills Biblical Institute is not for everyone. But God is raising up men and women "for such a time as this." And if God is leading you toward serious kingdom ministry, let’s talk and pray with serious biblical preparation.
