INSTE was founded in 1982 in Spain as a ministry of the Department of International Ministries of Open Bible Churches. Since our beginning we have been committed to working with all evangelical churches that share our common faith. We have grown to more than 10,000 students world wide, studying in many different languages.

Our methodology is based on two simple concepts: daily individual study using the INSTE interactive textbooks, plus weekly small-group meetings with an INSTE-certified facilitator. We are your partners in equipping believers and developing leaders.

We provide a complete curriculum, a proven methodology, and records; your church provides a facilitator who will lead the group, a place to meet (church or home), and supervision and support of emerging disciples and leaders. Through Super Saturday Seminars, we train and support the facilitators and mentors who will lead the INSTE groups in your church.
