FACILITIES AND CAMPUS HIGHLIGHTS
The institute buildings house the chapel, classrooms, dormitory rooms, offices,
library, bookstore, kitchen and dining hall. Faculty residences are also a part
of the campus.
THE MAIN AUDITORIUM
Our spacious 800 seat auditorium is the center of much spiritual activity on
campus. It is in this very special location where students begin their day with
prayer, meet for daily chapel services at noon, and close out the day with
evening prayer. Here, also, are held Sunday and Wednesday church services, as
well as conventions, revivals and Graduations.
BOOKSTORE
The Free Gospel Bible Institute Bookstore handles all textbooks and provides
selections of Bibles, Bible dictionaries, other Christian books, greeting cards,
stationary, and many other items. Students may purchase books and other items
through the bookstore at a special discount (except for textbooks). All profits
go towards the ministry of Free Gospel Bible Institute. In addition to the
bookstore, an adjoining snack store is open and a favorite spot of the students.
ON-CAMPUS LIVING FACILITIES
Dormitory style living quarters are available for a total of 229 students
including 85 ladies, 132 men. Limited facilities are available for married
couples.
DAVID J. BEAM MEMORIAL LIBRARY
The 7600 square foot David J. Beam Memorial Library is open 26 hours weekly,
providing access to a collection of over 15,000 volumes systematically organized
by the Dewey Decimal System. Over 3,000 cassette tapes are available as
well as other resources. The institute library is central to the educational process of Free Gospel Bible
Institute and is a popular place for research and study.
THE STUDENT MINISTRY PROGRAM
Student ministry is one of the most exciting outreaches of the Free Gospel Bible
Institute. This opportunity for practical ministry has taken our students into
at least 25 states and Canada. From Maine to Florida, and from coast to coast,
our students have blessed churches through their participation in church
services, youth and fellowship rallies, Sunday School classes, seminars, bus
ministry, nursing homes and canvassing. Their anointed singing, inspiring
testimonies and the challenging ministry of the Word has resulted in hundreds of
souls being saved and numerous lives dedicated to the Lord for full-time
service. Either locally on Sundays, or at far distances on weekends, the
students are out in groups, under the proper faculty supervision. Not only do
the students receive practical experience, but, also, Jesus Christ is presented
and exalted. All services are arranged on a free-will offering basis with the
offerings received going into the General Expense Account of the Institute.
Numbers of pastors have stated how much they appreciate the student ministry
program and how effective it is for training in the various fields of ministry.
Ministries may be scheduled by calling the Institute Office at (724) 3275454.
CHOIR
Students may become a part of the Institute Choir and be a blessing in services
and at special events. Those who are interested in music will enjoy this
opportunity of serving the Lord with their musical ability.
TORCHBEARER
The Senior Class publishes the annual yearbook called the Torchbearer. Students
with specific abilities in photography, typing, business administration,
writing, etc., are selected to take part in this production. The yearbook
portrays the life and ministry of the students of the Free Gospel Bible
Institute.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association consists of graduates of FGBI and honorary members
(husbands and/or wives of graduates desiring membership). There are 906 members
in our alumni as of this printing.
It is the purpose of our Alumni Association to promote interest among the graduates in the current activities and expansions of the Institute and to encourage fellowship among the graduates, as the FGBI family continues to grow.

auditorium of the Free Gospel Bible Institute. The sounds of the Gospel, prayer
