Raleigh Institute of Biblical Studies

The First Saturday Morning Seminary classes were initiated in January 2001 by Dr. William Suttles the Director of RIBS.  Except for a few of the classes Dr. Suttles has been the instructor for these sessions which meet on the first Saturday of each month from 9 AM till 12 Noon.  These are Saturday morning classes that will provoke you think more deeply about pivotal  biblical issues and hopefully inspire you to a more impacting and fruitful ministry.  These classes are meant not only for those in full time ministry but for all serious Christians who are concerned about serving God through their lives and vocations.  Dr. William Suttles has a B.A. in History from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, he also has earned the Master of Divinity, The Master of Theology and a Ph.D in Philosophy of Religion from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.  Additionally, he studied at the Graduate Theological Union and at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA and at Banks Street School of Education in New York City.  Dr. Suttles is a Pastor/Teacher, author and owns and operates WPJL Christian Radio (1240 AM) in Raleigh, NC.
