For 70 years, God has used Union Bible Institute to teach His Word and assist in the development of Christian leaders. Our purpose is to develop Christ-like servant-leaders who are committed to Christ and His Great Commission.
UBI remains committed to the unchanging message of the Bible and the preaching of its truth. At the same time, we recognize that the application of the message and the methods we use must meet the need of the times in which we live.

The Institute is directed by an independent evangelical council representing various Christian groups and denominations. Modest fees are charged for tuition, books and accommodation, with more than half of the cost of training dependent on God through the gifts of His people

Union Bible Institute is now provisionally registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training until 31 December 2013 as a private higher education institute under the Higher Education Act, 1997. Provisional registration certificate number 2010/HE08/001.

We also are in the process of partnering with the Northwest University to enable our students to study for a BTh and/or Honours or Masters. Once UBI has its own accreditation for BTh we will then partner with NorthWest for Honours and Masters.
