About Us
Why choose us?
Consider Pathway Bible College and its founding institution Temple Baptist Institutes and Seminary?
First, consider the longevity of our Institutions. We were first organized in 1972 in the city of Springdale, Ohio under the name of Temple Baptist College. Hundreds of existing pastors can trace their training to our institution.
Second, with the original mandate still burning in my heart, Research showed us 70% of all pastors worldwide still had little or no biblical training. So, our first restart effort was to move outside the continental USA and train as many as possible. We now have 5 campuses in Africa training scores of pastors who lead over 50 churches in three African nations.
Third, in 2017, we refocused our efforts to include pastors in mainstream America. Following our approval from the Ohio Department of Education to operate legally in the U.S. we began an undergrad program.
Today we operate in the U.S. under the name Pathway Bible College and Internationally under the name Temple Baptist Institute and Seminary. Temple also serves all our post graduate work worldwide.
