SouthWest Florida Bible Institute will help you to be a better prepared Sunday School teacher, home Bible study leader, effective witness on or of the job. You will be more sure of your faith and more confident in your witnessing. SouthWest Florida Bible Institute is dedicated to helping the local Church have members who are Biblically literate in a day and age when the Bible is seen as “irrelevant” or just “not applicable” to today’s modern world. Nothing could be further from the truth! The “logo” around the Bible on the front says, “Inerrant, Infallible, Immutable.” SWFBI and its Professors believe that the Bible from cover to cover IS the Word of God and we believe that without compromise. So I ask, “Isn’t it time to begin your studies at SouthWest Florida Bible Institute? I look forward to seeing you there.” Dr. James Scafidi, Founder/President Toledo Blade Blvd SWFBI (Toledo Plaza) 41 (Tamiami Trail) 776 (El-Jobean) Veterans Blvd 41 (Tamiami Trail) Offering three Associate degrees: Christian Ministry (ACM) Bible (AB) Theology (ATH) Also: non-degree Audit.
