It is with a profound sense of joy that we announce the beginning of a new leadership training school in South Texas---The Academy of Biblical Instruction. The Academy will be a work of the Adam's St. church of Christ in Beeville, Texas, under the oversight of her faithful eldership. January 15, 2007 is the official starting date of the school. The purpose of the school is to cultivate Christian character, and develop godly leadership, in the spirit of humility. The educational aim of the school will center upon the knowledge, the understanding, and the wisdom of God. The Academy will accomplish her educational aim by integrating a complete teaching of God's Word with a powerful practice of the same. The time has come for an institution of spiritual higher-learning not simply dedicated to academic excellence, but devoted to a notable practical instruction. The school's motto is simple: The Bible our only guide; the Bible we must rightly divide! With the establishment of the Academy of Biblical Instruction we hope to begin a new chapter in the history of the Adams Street church of Christ. In this 21st century, the elders of Adams Street have envisioned a revolution of reclamation for the local congregation, and for the Lord’s church the world over. Our goal is to train competent and capable leaders—evangelists, deacons, elders, preachers, teachers—that will labor in the kingdom of God organizing properly, training extensively, and motivating thoroughly. ABI will equip leaders with the biblical plan of church growth that they may pattern their works after the ancient examples of righteousness. God be with us, and may we be pleasing in His sight!
