Vision
Develop a spirit of Faith in the local church and to equip believers to become effective in their society and church and to walk in their full authority in Christ Jesus.

Dr. Malcolm Foster
HFBI has been a blessing for me. When I was first saved about four years ago, I became aware of the need to go further in the Word and gain knowledge. Just a little over 2 years ago I first learned about Heritage of Faith Bible Institute.
By attending the school it has helped me progress in my relationship with Christ, It has also helped direct me to take the right direction...the road of discipleship.
I urge every Christian that wants to go higher, deeper and farther to consider HFBI.

I really enjoyed Heritage of Faith Bible Institute, it has challenged me to become all that God has for me. I have matured in my walk with Christ and have come to realize who I am in Christ.
The people there are all so loving and giving of themselves and their time. I can see Pastor Mark's and Pastor Marion's vision for the school, coming to life within every student. They are training us up to be leaders in our sphere of influence. They both put all of themselves into running and improving things. All the teachers are caring and role models. They work so very hard and I appreciate there dedication and help so much.
My financial position has changed mid-semester and I think God for the 'Mark Esposito Scholarship Fund'. It has allowed me to stay in school.

He was called into the ministry at the age of 15 and served in a local church for 19 years after marrying his sweetheart.

Pastors Mark and Marion Esposito

Mark and Marions vision for Heritage of Faith Bible Institute & Leadership Academy is to establish Global training centers that would raise up strong men and women of God who would know and walk in the High Call of God.
We thank God that under Marks leadership he left us a legacy of pioneering the first HFBI in America. In 2009 Mark and Marion had a vision of an aircraft carrier the USS HFBI and the Jets that were actually students coming into the carrier.

1) They where empty, having no fuel (Unfocused & distracted)
2) They where unarmed (Without knowledge of the Word of God)
3) They were without a Mission and Purpose
4) They were weary and tired

If we had to use one word for the school it would be EMPOWERING.
God commanded us to make disciples of all nations and to equip them for the work of the ministry. Marks vision for HFBI will continue forward and become everything God purposed it to be.

G - GATHER IN THE KINGDOM

The purpose of Heritage of Faith Bible Institute and Leadership Academy is to touch, teach and train students, empowering them to be truly dedicated New Testament Christians as well as individuals of positive influence for the Kingdom of God in their families, communities and their generation.
Develop a spirit of Faith in the local church and to equip believers to become effective in their society and church and to walk in their full authority in Christ Jesus.
This statement constitutes a guide of the fundamental beliefs of Heritage of Faith Ministries International. The programs and activities thereof shall at all times, be consistent with this statement.
The scriptures in their original form, both the Old and New Testament, are divinely inspired and are the revelation of God to man. All scripture is God-breathed by the Holy Spirit who inspired the authors, revealing to them what, He wanted written [Acts 1:16; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:20-21].These are infallible truth, containing no contradiction or error. It is the final authority for faith, doctrine and life. The canon of the Bible is closed. Christians must remain receptive to the illumination of scriptural truth by the Holy Spirit [Matt. 5:17; Luke 4:17-21; 23:27,44; John 5:39; 1 Cor. 14:37; 2 Pet 3:15,16].
God is Spirit – infinite, eternal, uncreated and unchangeable in His being or attributes. In Him all things have their source, support and end [John 4:24; Ps. 102:25-27; Gen. 1:1,26; John 1:1-3; Heb. 1-3; Col. 1:15-17].There is one true God who has a plural nature – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – all distinct personalities, all designated God [John 1:1,14,18; Heb. 1:18; Acts 5:3,4].The Bible does not teach that there are three Gods, but upholds the doctrine of the Trinity – one God who reveals Himself in three persons – equal in power and glory
[Gen. 1:26; Matt 3:16-17; 28:19; Acts 10:38; 1 Cor. 12:4-6].
