students are enrolled at the <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>. We do not believe that clothes automatically make a believer holy; however,<br />

the <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> does believe that modesty is a matter <strong>of</strong> biblical principle, and that discipline in the area <strong>of</strong> acceptable<br />

dress is a necessary part <strong>of</strong> life preparation regardless <strong>of</strong> a student’s future plans. Our goal is to represent and reflect our<br />

Savior while pointing all to Him in every area.<br />
