TBI is a nine-month Bible school committed to establishing Biblical foundations in the lives of young adults ages 17-25. It is a bridge preparing young people for life and success after high school. This nine-month program is designed for all young people in mind; those pursuing college, trade school or ministry. After graduation, a student may choose to continue their course of study at TBI through the second year program.

Founded by Tommy and Rachel Burchfield, TBI began in 1990 with forty students. Along with a caring and committed faculty, they have now graduated hundreds of students from thirty-two states and fourteen countries.

TBI is located on the grounds of Country Camp in Columbus, Texas, seventy miles west of Houston. This historic German town has a population of 3,415. The campus of TBI is part of the 553-acre camp used during the summer and on weekends to host guests attending “The Largest Full-Gospel Camp in America.” Each summer, over 25,000 campers and leaders from thirty-eight states enjoy Tommy and Rachel’s anointing to “reach the young generation for Christ.” Exciting master plans for the new TBI campus are underway on the newly-acquired 530 acres.

TBI prepares young people for their future success in relationships, marriage and finances. TBI gives a young person the opportunity to devote their lives completely to God to become stable, grounded, and learn what God has planned for their life.

TBI IS A MUST FOR EVERY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.
