We are located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. We have been a Bible Institute for over 25 years. The mission of Christian Outreach Bible Institute is to win this generation to Christ before His imminent return. We will do this by finding the man, building the man, feed the man the word of God, so God can use the man to advance His Kingdom. Our goal is to teach men and woman, how to get something for self, apply it to self, and transmit it to others. COBI students are equipped to become Kingdom minded not church minded. 

Matthew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”
