Many of you have heard of the "WATER Program." 42 students from around the country and Canada spent a week on the SMBI campus for classes, team development activities, and other ministry orientation. Now, they are spread around the world for 4 1/2 weeks of apprentice-type training with partner ministries. They are nearby in Oldtown, MD, and beyond to Arkansas, Florida, New York, and South Dakota and internationally in Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Ireland, Kenya, Mongolia, and Liberia. Pray that they could both be blessed and be a blessing in this experience! See MoreSee Less

sharon mennonite bible institute introduction

Introduction to SMBI

The Lord of the church has given his body a variety of gifts and roles “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). This verse contains a three-fold directive for every born again follower of Christ.  As saints, we are called to move toward and into the ongoing work of sanctification and perfection in our own lives.  As Christ works in us, we become His hands and feet continuing the ministry of redemption which He initiated before mankind ever needed redemption.  Finally, since we are designed to function as a body and not an isolated ear or foot, we must band together as a body to build up and encourage our fellow pilgrims as we journey together.

At Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute it is our vision to function as a support to churches and families as together we endeavor to see these directives fulfilled in our lives and the lives of our students.   We have no desire to become another option in the smorgasbord of entertainment and diversion, but rather to be a dynamic tool that God can use to perform His work in and through each of us.  We appreciate your support as we strive to perfect the saints, equip them for ministry, and build up the body of Christ.
