Welcome to the Hayford Bible Institute!

What is The Hayford Bible Institute?

Since the earliest days of The Church On The Way Pastor Jack Hayford, the founding Pastor of the church and Chancellor of The King’s College and Seminary, has been committed to developing mature Spirit-filled believers who are grounded in the truth of God’s Word and equipped with practical skills for ministry. The King’s College and Seminary, in partnership with Pastor Jim Tolle, the current Pastor of The Church On The Way, continues to support this vision through The Hayford Bible Institute.

Through HBI participants receive vibrant, Spirit-filled, and biblically sound instruction which will both encourage and empower them in their pursuit of God’s unique calling on their lives. Instructors provide participants with a systematic and deepened understanding of the Bible, a strengthened grasp of sound doctrine, a sharpened ability to serve Jesus Christ with clarity, power, and sensitivity, along with practical tools for ministry which will enable them to effectively communicate the Gospel with power to those around them.

The institute also provides a number of professional development courses for participants including computer software courses covering Microsoft Word, Excel, Office, Outlook, Access, Power Point, Web design, and basic typing. In addition to learning valuable computer skills, The Hayford Bible Institute offers Spanish language courses for beginners who desire to reach out to California’s growing Spanish speaking community.
