The Bogotá Bible Institute initially began in 2004 at La Serena Church, where 25 pastors, aspiring pastors and church leaders graduated in the first class in 2007.  In 2008, the Bible Institute moved to a new location in the Modelia neighborhood of Bogota.  Since then, three more classes of students have completed the courses and graduated from the Bible Institute.
