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.
