The EL Bethel Bible Institute is the official educational and ministry-training arm of EL Bethel Temple of Jesus International. Those called of God are taught to study to show themselves approved unto God . . . their reasonable service. A broad and fairly comprehensive curriculum has been chosen and written to equip students in all facets of essential biblical and Christian doctrine. Many practical topics such as funeral customs and regional officiating norms, systematic theology, preparing expository sermons, and others are popular with our students. Those following God's call to eldership must minimally complete the two-year course of study and fulfill two years in an associate pastor's position. These minimum requirements may be fulfilled concurrently.

Recognition for completion of bible institute studies will occur at Holy Convocation 2007 during the Ordination Celebration, Sunday, July 15, 2005 at 11 am. This year's graduation class includes, Alfred Grider, Felicia Grider, Rita Law, and Lydia Taylor, all completing their second year.

She is assisted by Elders Carolyn Hall (pictured right) and Josie Everson and may be contacted by writing EL Bethel Bible Institute, 3000 Bruton Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32805.
