The Bible Institute of Ohio is a three-year Bible institute operated by the Ohio Bible Fellowship. BIO was formed as a Bible institute and was deliberately designed to remain so rather than to become a Bible college. Its function can best be described as a training school for those called of God into a lifetime ministry and for those who wish to sharpen their skills as workers in their local churches. In keeping with this objective, BIO stresses:

Extensive training in the Word of God---its exegesis, interpretation, exposition, and preaching.

Evangelistic zeal and a genuine love for the souls of men who are lost and without hope.

A fundamentalist and separatist stand in this day of compromise.

Personal Christian character and conduct befitting a Christian worker.

Discipleship and a pioneering spirit through required practical Christian work assignments.

Supplemental courses---Christian Education, Missions, etc.

Communication skills---English and Speech
