Monday nights 7:00-9:30pm (three segments (periods) with a break between each). Depending on the class subject and content duration, the three segments of the night may be of the same subject or two or three different subjects. Either way, Monday nights are going to be exciting!

There will also be one or two additional special classes held on Saturdays (dates to be determined). These classes are required for the program, but if a student cannot be present, the on-demand online viewing is certainly adequate.

The school will be available online and also on-demand for missed classes. However, we ask for in-class participation for HFC members and anyone in Houston if possible---for at least 75% of classes.

This is a two-year school (4 semesters), with Summer School Specialty Courses (Ministers’ training, Healing, Evangelism, Leadership, etc.). The Summer Specialty Courses are not required for a Diploma.

HFBI is not accredited. Our emphasis is not to provide credit hours that transfer to state colleges, but to provide exceptional Bible training and spiritual development.

An HFBI Diploma will be a valuable accomplishment in your spiritual education and experience, and even more than the printed proof will be the life-change and Bible understanding that you receive.

In the future, we may have partnerships with other Bible institutes who recognize HFBI for student transfers.

Graduates receive a Diploma recognizing their Bible education achievement.

Yes. There will be 1-2 tests or quizzes per month. 75/100 is required to successfully complete each test. And students must complete each class with a passing grade of 75/100 in order to receive a diploma at the end of the two years.

Yes, contact us for more information.

SATELLITE HFBI CAMPUSES: We’re offering a way for pastors/churches to host a Satellite HFBI Campus for their church or ministry.

Please have the Pastor/Leader email us for more information and to begin the discussion and possible partnership.

Pastor Chas will be the primary teacher, with substitutes and guest preachers occasionally, including Pastor Joni.

No childcare will be provided. Children may accompany parents, but only as long as there are no interruptions.

For children that are disruptive, the parent and child will be asked to leave the classroom and will need to view the class online.

The Summer Specialty Course for Summer 1 will either be a Ministers Course or Healing Ministry Course. These will be open to everyone and there will be a $40 Summer School tuition. Further information will be given once scheduled.

These courses are not required for graduation, but will be required for those desiring a minister's license. Completing the course does not automatically qualify a student for a minister's license, as there are other important considerations for that (see FAQ).

Houston Faith Church and HFBI is authorized to license and ordain ministers when applicable. However, most students will not receive a minister's license. For those interested in a license/ordination, there will be several factors to determine eligibility: 1) understanding exactly what a license is and does (and what it does not), 2) confirming why a student would need one, 3) student giving evidence of eminent ministry work that the State of Texas and U.S. government needs to be aware of, 4) completing the Summer School Specialty Minister's Course.

Leadership and service in the Body of Christ is separate from the State-required license/ordination. Formal licensing is a State-requirement for those earning consistent income as a minister, those performing marriage ceremonies, and those working as a chaplain at a hospital, prison, or other venue. Licensing/Ordination requires an annual renewal, with continued relationship with HFBI, HFC, SM, or the Pastors, an annual status report, and annual fee.
