Realizing a Biblical responsibility to educate those who are already pastors of
small churches or those financially unable to attend other schools because of
family or other needs, a group of ministers met in the spring of 1979 to discuss
starting a Seminary, Institute, of Bible School. After much prayer, a
correspondence school to be supported by local pastors as needed was
established. Leading this effort were three pastors, Clifton Drawdy, Don Drawdy,
and Ron Drawdy whose father, Roy Drawdy, had been a Southern Baptist pastor
for more than 40 years.]
Once the catalogs were mailed, our school began growing rapidly by reaching out
to help those needing the skills for ministry. In 1994, the President, Ron Drawdy
charted the school and registered it in the State of Georgia. At that time the
school was incorporated as Southern Bible Institute and Seminary. Soon after
being incorporated, property became available in Thomson, Georgia. Now, not
only does Southern Bible Institute and Seminary continue to reach those in
correspondence studies, students enroll each semester to take full-time,
instructor-lead classes in our newly renovated classrooms at our main campus
in Augusta, Georgia.
From our small beginnings to now, Southern Bible Institute and Seminary has
been instrumental in training and equipping saints of many walks of life. With a
home base in Augusta, Georgia, Southern Bible Institute and Seminary now has
extensions in other areas of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Canada, Mexico,
Honduras and in the British Isles. The Southern Bible Institute and Seminary
Advisory Board is comprised of many local pastors and other church laymen who
believe in our confession of faith, "Jesus is Lord, Jesus died for our sin according
to the Scriptures, was buried, rose on the third day, and is now seated at the right
hand of God to make intersession for us." As a licensed, charted, incorporated
and Christian accredited institution with a determination to teach the Biblical
truths of the Word of God, we at Southern Bible Institute and Seminary covet your
prayers and support.
With the support of our [ALUMNI] and community churches, we continue to
experience growth each month as new students register with a hunger of God's
Word. Those alumni that pastor in local churches make opportunities available
for the ministerial students to gain experience by preaching, teaching, and
sharing their testimony. Seminary graduation ceremonies are hosted by
Southern Bible Institute and Seminary and held at the main campus in Augusta,
Georgia on the First Friday in May.
