Our Purpose


Union Bible Institute of Theology is a local church ministry that is designed to prepare men and women for serving the Lord. Our philosophy is local church oriented.  We do not claim to be a college, or university or school of higher learning, as in the sense of the secular arena.  We are a local church ministry, that is serious about the Bible education of Christian people who want to serve the Lord better equipped.  We believe that the hope of our culture will come from the local church, and the training is designed to help make a difference in lives. The classes are at night to help with time scheduling for those who work. 

Our staff is dedicated to produce students who love the Lord and His work. The institute will provide comprehensive training for workers within the Body of Christ, which includes Preachers, Sunday School teachers, Deacons, and Missionaries. The healthy future of our local churches depends on the solid Bible training of our next generation of church leaders.  We invite any serious Bible student to come be a part of our Bible Institute

A Message From Pastor Kehoe...

My heart’s desire is to see God’s children taught the Word of God so that they can become faithful servants. The Bible teaches us to teach the whole counsel of God and to commit to faithful men that which we have learned so that they may teach others also. My goal in this Bible Institute is to teach and train the next generation of servants for God. I would like to see our own members better fitted for the ministries of evangelism and teaching. I would love to see young men trained for full time pastoral ministry to fulfill the future needs of our own church, as well as meet the spiritual needs of our geographic region and beyond. This is not only a vision of mine, but a Bible mandate. We must send forth laborers into God’s harvest field. This all will happen as God’s people are equipped and prepared to serve.

God tells us in 2 Timothy 2:15 to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  This Bible Institute will provide for its students the tools to do so.

If you are serious about serving God, please consider joining us for training at Union Bible Institute of Theology. Whether it is your goal to become a more equipped church member or you plan to serve the Lord full time, our program is designed to meet your needs.

May God receive all the glory and honor due Him because of the efforts of Union Bible Church and its Bible Institute of Theology!
