Logos Bible Institute
Instituto Biblico Logos

Iglesia Biblica Fundamental hosts the Logos Bible Institute.       Located in the Mexicali town of Tamaulipas, Instituto Biblico Logos began in 1985. Following the example of our youth outreach teams, Pastor Antonio Agundez started planting churches in nearby towns, and immediately saw the need for a local training center for church leaders. At the same time, YUGO's leadership had been talking with longtime friend and MGF missionary, Duane Kepner, about starting a Bible Institute in the area, and God put it all together.

       In 1984, we bought the property and built a small auditorium that would double as a sanctuary for Antonio's church. We then added a kitchen and dining hall, followed by a dormitory building. Finally, we added offices, a classroom, a library and a nursery onto the original adobe house that came with the property.

Logos Bible Institute student Rafael focused on his studies.       Since 1985, the school has trained many church leaders. Most graduates are not able to find a ministry that would provide enough resources financially without taking another job. For Mexicans, making a commitment to study ministry full time for 3 years without the promise of making a living from it is quite a commitment!

       In 2001, we had a record number of 85 part time and 5 full time students.  One of the reasons for all of this growth is the excitement stirred up by local church mission trips to the Mexican state of Sinaloa.  Logos Institute graduate Efrain Torres has been taking church members from nearby congregations, bringing them on a "missions trip."  Upon returning, many participants realize their need to be trained and better prepared to share God's Word and enroll in the Institute. 

Ways you can help

  • Work crews are always needed to help with construction and maintenance projects around the Institute property.
  • Donations to the National Workers Scholarship Fund. Students are asked to pay for tuition, and their churches are asked to help. But many of them need scholarships to follow through with their desires to be well-trained ministers of the Gospel. Donations can be sent to our San Dimas office.
