The Bible Institute of
Missouri was so named to indicate an institute of higher learning
set up for those who are interested in studying God’s
Word. It is located in Springfield, Missouri, which is in the southwest part
of the state at the foot of the Ozark Mountains. Springfield is a city of
152,000 with a metro population above 380,000. It is the third largest city
in the state of Missouri and is ranked among the top five cities in the
nation as a great place to raise a family. Springfield has a healthy job
market, great schools, superior health care facilities, and an active arts
community with warm and friendly people.
The
Bible Institute of Missouri is housed in a separate facility
behind the building of the Kansas Expressway church of Christ. Within the
facility are offices, classrooms, a library, and a break room. It is a
modern facility with a wireless computer network for
students and faculty. The facility was completed in 2003 for the purpose of
housing the school. It is located about a half mile south of Interstate 44
and is convenient to the Springfield-Branson National Airport and to shopping.
In fact, it is close enough to Kansas Expressway to have easy access to the
city, but far enough away to be quiet and undisturbed.
A
religious research library is located at the school facility. Also a new
Springfield public library is just across the street from the school which
gives our students access to extensive research facilities. The school
library has computers with online research capabilities. The library of the
late Emerson J. Estes of the Memphis, Tennessee area was donated to the
school. Brother Estes was one of the great preachers of his generation and
was known for his faithfulness and love for the truth.
