Charity Baptist Bible Institute and Seminary (CBBI)

Charity Baptist Bible Institute and Seminary is a ministry of Charity Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio. Founding Pastor Dr. Greg Estep started the Institute in 1978 to train Christians everywhere to study and know the Book and preach and teach effectively. CBBI is one of the few, if not the only, Baptist Bible schools or Bible colleges that teaches through each book of the Bible verse by verse. We operate both a physical and a correspondence school. Classes are held at Charity on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings throughout the school year. All of our classes can also be ordered; all are available on cassette and CD, and several on VHS and DVD.

All of the courses on the books of the Bible are taught verse-by verse, and the books are spread throughout the curriculum. (The King James Bible is the only Bible taught from in our courses; it is never corrected or maligned.) Courses are also taught on various other subjects, including the Trinity, Signs & Wonders, Rightly Dividing, Preacher & His Preaching, and more. A series on Christian Womanhood, taught by Mrs. Judy Estep, is also available.

CBBI is not accredited by the State of Ohio. When Dr. Estep founded the school, he decided that our curriculum should remain free from any possibility of interference from secular authorities. We cannot guarantee that any other school or college will accept credits transferred from us.

The Institute has been a major help to people all over the world. From prisoners to pastors, missionaries to mechanics, people from all walks of life have taken the courses and benefitted greatly. Click on the links above for more information on CBBI.
