Frontier School of the Bible

My husband and I both came to this school seeking to be trained for ministry. It has a missions and rural American focus. Many of the professors have long time ministry background and can give you "real life" experience and down to earth preparation for going into ministry or just being faithful in life. The teachers and wives are all very personal and give of themselves to invest in the students. We appreciated the schools faith and dependence on the Lord for their decisions, staff, and finances. It is faith based and solid in Scriptural teaching. They do not give you philosophies or theories, but teach straight from the Bible, supplemented by personal testimonies. We recommend this school to anyone looking for a solid grounding in their Christian faith or seeking to serve the Lord in Vocational ministry. more

I wouldn’t trade my time at Frontier for anything – except maybe a glorified, pain-free body like Christ’s or a visible glimpse of the glory of the Trinity! Nothing in this life anyway! ?? I trusted in Christ as my Savior in my college years and knew God was calling me to be missionary. Some of the wiser men in my spiritual life suggested going to Bible school (which I didn’t even know was a thing) and I thought it was probably a good idea, so I started searching around for one. Most of the schools I crossed off my list immediately because of the price. I was trying to sell my possessions and get out of debt so I could be available to serve God wherever He called me --- not go back into it! The price of Frontier is very reasonable because the teachers are missionaries and it was one of the main reasons I chose it. It seemed Biblical to me. I attended Frontier for all three years as a married student. We lived off-campus but were always welcomed to join in on what the dorm students were doing and given many opportunities to make the cost living off-campus even cheaper. The teachers are there for you. They care for you. The location challenged me to focus more on my learning. I was challenged to reach out through year-round mission trip opportunities, through the Christian service course and through emphasis on personal and team evangelism. And I was challenged to give my life to Christ. I am eternally thankful for Frontier and thankful I didn’t rush off into ministry without the training. When I think of Frontier, I think of family, friends, spiritual growth and God at work. I think of gold and silver and precious stones. I think of how great it is to be debt free and ready to head to the mission field just a few months after graduating. I think of a firm foundation in God's Word, confident to preach and teach from any of it - unlike before. I wouldn't trade my time there for anything. It really is a great school that is working hard to train harvesters for the glory of Christ! Visit and see for yourself! more

Poor academic standards, dishonest, lack of credibility, very small ministry network, isolationist more

My wife and I studied at FSB from 1973 to 1976. I have served in many capacities in the years since and have never felt I had to take a back seat to anyone when it comes to preparation in the Word of God. We have served in various camps and ministries in the USA, spent twenty years as missionaries in Brazil and now are on the staff at Rio Grande Bible Insititute training leaders in the Spanish language. Our years of study at FSB prepared us well for those ministries. The school was very affordable then and continues to be. Naturally there have been changes but as we return year after year to encourage students to serve in foreign missions we are pleased to see the same passion for the Word of God today that was so evident in the early years. Over time the school has rightly earned the admiration of the town and of the county in spite of a lot of early opposition. We can heartily recommend the school to anyone wishing to gain a solid Bible education. more

My husband and I entered Frontier School of the Bible as Freshman this year. After years at secular school, the atmosphere of living in Lagrange and attending FSB is as close to Heaven as we're going to get in this life. This is truly a warm-hearted, affordable Bible School that will not compromise on its Biblically-based principles to receive secular acceptance or gain. Because of their high standards, FSB is a thriving beehive of Christian ministry -- and leadership. Their students are now serving in ministries and missions throughout the world. The administrative and teaching staff are caring individuals who are dedicated to raising up the next generation of Christian leadership. They have sacrificed gain in the world to minister as missionaries at this school because of deep sense of God's calling to this place. The student body is also unique. Students range in age from recent high school graduates to grandparents. The classmates treat one-another with respect and supportiveness. There is little sense of competition, yet students seem to do their best for excellence's sake. more

This is a warm and welcoming Bible school that teaches straight from the Bible. Each individual instructor and office personnel are giving and truly love the Lord.
