Why us
VLI is unique from other training Institutions:
Do you have a basic understanding of the Bible and what you believe, but want to go deeper? Then Vision Leadership Institute is right for you. These College-level classes will teach you about the structure, content, and themes of the Old and New Testament, and introduce you to intermediate Bible study methods.
The classes on biblical theology discuss what we believe and why, and there is a focused class on how the Bible was written, how it was transmitted through the centuries, and why we can trust it. You will also learn about spiritual growth and how to avoid the pitfalls of moralism.
