Union Bible Institute’s purpose is to develop Christ-like servant-leaders who are committed to Christ and His Great Commission. This is done:

• By thoroughly grounding prospective Christian workers in the Word of God so that they will be able to understand its basic content and apply its principles to their lives and ministries (UBI is a Bible college. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that it is the chief means of developing Christ-like servant-leaders)

• By prayerfully depending on God to use us to continue and accelerate the process of transformation that He has already begun in our students (UBI does not create leaders, but seeks to develop those who are called by God and identified by churches as potential leaders)

• By guiding the students, through teaching and counseling, in the development of their character, that they may become more like Christ (While knowledge and skills are important, the Bible emphasizes Chris-tlike character as the chief qualification for leaders)

• By providing both theoretical and practical training in leadership and ministry skills, while modeling the humble attitude of a leader as one who serves. (UBI equips students in ministry skills such as preaching, teaching, counseling, administration, and evangelizing, not so that they may glorify themselves and dominate others, but so that they can use these skills as servant-leaders).

• By exalting Christ through music, prayer, testimony, and every aspect of the life and the curriculum of the school, and through challenging our students to commit themselves wholeheartedly to Him. (UBI’s goal is that students would not merely receive an academic education or gain new skills, but that they would truly be committed to Christ).

• By exposing the students to the need of worldwide evangelization and involving them, where possible in cross cultural ministry, yet seeking also to equip them for ministry in their own cultures (UBI aims to instill in students a commitment to Christ’s Great Commission to make disciples of all nations).
