Raleigh Institute of Biblical Studies was founded in 1995 by Dr. William Suttles. Dr. Suttles is the Director of the Institute. He is the President of WPJL Christian Radio in Raleigh, North Carolina and Pastor of Tabernacle Christian Worship Center. Dr. Suttles's vision was to provide training for many in Christian ministry who have never had the opportunity to go away to Bible college or seminary, but have a serious and sincere desire to be more fully equiped to serve God in their life and vocation. The courses are designed to deepen one's understanding not just academically, but spiritually as well. The school has three courses of study which may be taken together or separately. First is the First Saturday Morning Seminary classes, a certificate program. The second is the Associates Degree in Christian Ministerial Studies program. The third is the Christian Life School of Theology. As a member of the Christian Life Educators Network a student is able to earn all the way up to a Doctor of Theology at RIBS. Raleigh Institute of Biblical Studies adheres to a biblical orthodoxy as has been held by the Church historically through the centuries. Our school is Evangelical with a Charismatic emphasis. |
