From the President: Rachel Burchfield
"Three major life decisions are usually made before the age of 25

1. Whom will you serve?
2. What occupation will you choose?
3. What kind of spouse will you marry?

The consequences of these three choices will affect the rest of your life. We realize that at this point of your life you are dealing with a variety of questions, obstacles, and opportunities. At TBI, you will be taught how to cooperate with God’s plan for your life. We want to encourage you to put God first in your decision. Your time with us at TBI will lay strong foundations for your life; a decision that will benefit you forever. Don’t waste your life looking for life, come to TBI!"
