For over 30 years now, the Baptist Bible Institute, founded in Toulouse in 1967 and now established in Paris, has shaped servants of God.  More than 70 students have already graduated and are actively serving in the fields of the Lord.

The vision of the founder, Pastor Arthur Sommerville, was that of a practical Bible institute, associating meaningful study with a rich and intensive work on the field itself.  

Thus, numerous students have been able to prepare themselves for the various ministries awaiting them, particularly by working to plant and establish local and independent churches.  Numerous assemblies throughout France have been founded by teams of students sent out from the Bible Institute.

The Bible Institute of Paris does not exist to form professors or theologians, but rather to produce servants of God (both pastors and evangelists alike) intended for service in local churches, .  These men and women with a burden for the lost are equipped with all the tools provided by God to accomplish that to which He has called them.
