Like other schools and colleges, students are back in classes at the Southwest Florida Bible Institute, which is located on Collingswood Boulevard in Port Charlotte.
In its third year, the college offers tuition free classes to help Christians achieve a deeper understanding of the Bible and work towards an associate’s degree in Biblical studies.
