Introduction to Iona Bible Institute
Discover Iona Bible Institute, where a passion for God’s Word meets the practical needs of local church leaders across Costa Rica and Central America. Our story began with a crystal-clear vision: to fortify pastors and church leaders in the unshakeable foundation of the Bible. In countries like Costa Rica, many pastors are tentmakers, balancing the demands of their calling with the responsibilities of providing for their families.
The Challenges Faced by Pastors
Their dedication to God’s Word is inspiring, yet time for in-depth study is a luxury few can afford. Traditional seminaries, while excellent, often pose logistical and financial barriers, leaving many hungry for structured, accessible theological training. This is where Iona Bible Institute steps in, addressing these challenges directly.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is focused on empowering pastors and church leaders with the timeless truths of Scripture where they live. Rooted in historic church doctrine, we are committed to nurturing men and women who are passionate about living out Christ’s teachings in their everyday lives—and discipling others to do likewise. By providing accessible and high-quality theological training, we aim to strengthen churches and build leaders throughout Guanacaste and beyond.
