What Makes Us So Different?

Respect:  Not only do most Bible Colleges accept our credits, some will even give a scholarship to anyone who transfers from our school.

Quality:  Some correspondence schools are “read a book, write a paper, and get an “A.”  GVBIS has real tests, a challenging curriculum, and high academic standards that mean something. 

Structure:  We enjoy working through the home and the church to put structure in place for our students.  Ask about our extension institutes and our semester schedules. 

Cost:  This is a ministry of conviction for the staff at GVBIS.  A course, including books, is only $90 if you are serving in your local church. 

A Home Schooler’s Testimony

As a homeschool graduate, I knew I wanted to serve God with my life. I was at a loss regarding college decisions because I did not know what the Lord wanted me to do at that time, and did not want to waste time or money on a degree that the Lord might not be willing to use to his Glory in my future. My parents thought that it would be wise if I took a year of Bible classes as I continued to seek the Lord's guidance.

It was a long frustrating search through many correspondence schools, as we found that either the price was good, and the doctrine was wrong, or the doctrine was good, but the school was very expensive. The Lord finally led my parents and I to the Genesee Valley Baptist Institute and Seminary and it has been such a blessing to me as I have continued on the path for God's service.

Not only is the Genesee Valley Baptist Institute based out of a local church, but it holds true to the doctrines found in God's Holy Word. It offers classes that can be held through an institute setting in your own local church or classes that can be done as part of an extension institute through your own home and around your own schedule. Another great benefit is that it is affordable, and that it offers discounts based on work scholarships performed through your local church.

Even though I took the classes through correspondence as part of the extension institute, I still had to write real papers, and take real tests. This really is college, and the Institute is not slack on it's academic requirements in any way shape or form.

I really have enjoyed my time with the Genesee Valley Baptist Institute, and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for a college to attend. You will benefit greatly as you get your training to serve the Lord.
