Our History

Triangle Bible Institute (TBI), a Christian college, was established in 1993 in a vision by our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ to Reverend Doctor Frederick Samuel Jones who was also pastor of the Star Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church, Triangle, VA.

From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Jones, TBI’s first president, organized a pilot program offering several Bible classes to determine the church and community interest in a Bible Institute. These classes continued for four years. It was in the summer of 1997 when Dr. Jones met with a group of educators to discuss the possibilities of expanding the program. He wanted Triangle Bible Institute legally recognized as an approved school functioning under the guidelines of the State of Virginia Department of Education.. . . to read more click here
