Welcome to Moody!

I am so glad to have you here on campus.

You are a part of a very special legacy, a school that for 133 years has been preparing men and women to be change agents in our world for Jesus Christ. Our faculty, alumni, and staff are excited that you are here, too. We have been praying for you and looking forward to your arrival.

Here at Moody you will study God’s Word and learn how to put the biblical truth you learn into action. Our prayer is that you will fall in love with Scriptures in ways that will have a profound impact on the rest of your life. Even more importantly, we pray you will fall more in love with your Savior.

At Moody your education isn’t just about classes. You’ll be involved in ministry opportunities around the Chicago area. As a Moody alum, I can testify that these will be some of the most challenging and rewarding times of your life. Your professors and the friends you make here will be highlights of your time at Moody.

It is my prayer that you will begin these years with the end in mind. Ask God to use your time at Moody to grow you in His knowledge and wisdom. And when you leave this place, may you be ready and eager to serve Him well.

Serving together,

Mark Jobe President, Moody Bible Institute
