Midland Bible Institute

MBI was established in 1971 under the auspices of the Christian Brethren in Jamaica. It was started through the spiritual vision of Mr. Emile Turner, a Jamaican Missionary, who became founder President. Mr. Frank Fenton, an English Missionary, was its first Principal.

MBI started out in a building on the 15-acre Christian Brethren property at Mineral Heights occupied by Midland Training Centre (which now houses the Midland Preparatory School). In 1980 the Lord miraculously provided the present facilities at Curatoe Hill, which encourages expansion and growth.

During the Fall Semester of 2003, the Bible College was closed in order to allow necessary building works to be carried out. It was during this period that Midland Bible Institute was registered as a limited company with the Office of the Registrar of Companies in Jamaica with a newly formed Board of Directors. These events marked a significant step in the reorganization of MBI.

The Faculty consists of lecturers who hold relevant theological degrees, psychology degrees, counselling degrees, music degrees and/or diplomas from various Bible Colleges, Seminaries and Universities. Other staff members are in possession of qualifications relevant to their sphere of service.
