Moody Bible Institute - Spokane

Moody Bible Institute, a distinguished private Bible college founded in 1886, has historically served as a vital institution for training Christian workers across various ministries. Born from D.L. Moody’s vision to equip individuals for evangelism and service, it has prepared countless teachers, ministers, missionaries, and musicians to effectively proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. The institute’s foundational motto, "Study to show thyself approved unto God," underscores its commitment to rigorous biblical education and practical ministry training.

The Spokane campus of Moody Bible Institute played a significant role in extending this mission to the Pacific Northwest. For many years, it served as a hub for students seeking comprehensive biblical training, contributing to the institute's overall enrollment of over 3,400 students. While the broader Moody institution navigated its long history, including a significant financial restructuring in the early 20th century by Henry Parsons Crowell to ensure its sustained impact, the Spokane campus remained a beacon for dedicated students.

However, in November 2017, Moody Bible Institute announced the closure of its general campus operations in Spokane, Washington. It's crucial for prospective students and families to note that while the broader academic programs are no longer offered in Spokane, the highly respected Moody Aviation program continues to thrive there. Moody Aviation remains a premier training ground for those called to use their skills in aviation for missionary work and other Christian service, embodying a specialized facet of Moody's enduring commitment to global evangelism.
