History

Triangle Bible Institute was started by Pastor Jim Whitfield in 2001 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The course of study was written by Pastor Jim, in collaboration with other ministers, and experienced pastors. The first class completed the program in 2003. In the next two years (2004 & 2005), opportunities began to open up for the Institute to be taken to other counties, such as the Congo in Africa. Thus began the fulfilling of the vision Pastor Jim was given to “Reach the Nations, Teach the Nations, and Change the Nations”. The program continued to expand with schools in El Salvador and Honduras. In 2015 we began our next big endeavor to open the online school, thereby providing anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to take part in this amazing program.

Letter From Pastor Jim Whitfield

Hello Everyone,
Pastor Jim here. I greet you in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. I remember will when the Lord called me into the ministry. I talked to different people and tried to get some advice. That’s when I asked the Lord, “Isn’t there some place I can go and just learn the Bible without all the other things that I felt was unnecessary.”

That’s when the Lord spoke to me by what I call an audible voice on a Sunday morning in church and talk me exactly where I needed to go. Following God’s place for our lives has always proved to be productive.

Years ago the Lord directed me also to develop a study course for the many African Pastor living in our area. Little did I know what would develop out of it. Triangle Bible Institute was born out of this vision. The Lord also told me to “reach the nations, teach the nations, and you will be able to change the nations.” In the process of time Central America opened up to my ministry. We have our first graduating class in San Salvador in July of 2015.

But my desire was to make TBI available to every pastor and church who desired it. I knew I would have to make it easy for the pastors and I also wanted to eliminate any competition. But also, I knew that I needed to make it available to anyone who wanted the Bible Institute who was not affiliated with an particular church or denomination. I knew I was to offer it free of charge. Just because it is offered free does not make it cheap.

If you are called of God into the ministry, I can help! I can teach you everything you need to mature in God’s word for the ministry. I can place in your hand at least two years of teaching and preaching material that is Biblically sound in doctrine. I can deposit in you the “Spirit of Faith”.

Starting in June of 2015, anyone who has access to a computer and the internet can begin class with us at TBI and begin their journey. We will help you, teach you, assist you, and make sure you complete successfully. And, at no charge. But pastor, why free? The Lord told me to do so and He always rewards me abundantly!

So start today! I don’t care who you are – you need to be taught. You need a helping hand. A spiritual father told us that he would teach us everything he knew. And he did. That way we could be so much ahead of the game.

So, check us out. Pray about it. If interested, email us at tccbiblecollege@trianglecc.org. We will be glad to assist you. And, welcome to the ministry. May God’s richest and best always be yours,
Pastor Jim
