Bible Missionary Church
Bible Missionary Church, founded in 1955, is an evangelical, holiness Christian denomination headquartered in the United States. The church is part of the holiness movement and has roots in the teachings of John Wesley. The church is Wesleyan in doctrine and Arminian in theology.
==History==
The denomination was founded in 1955 with a total of 126 members.〔''Bible Missionary Union. 2003 Manual''〕 The church traces its roots to Methodism with direct ties to the Church of the Nazarene.
In 1958, the denomination began Bible Missionary Institute, a then-three year Bible college offering basic theology degrees.〔''Bible Missionary Church, Inc. 2003 Manual, "History"''〕 Bible Missionary Institute is located in Rock Island, Illinois.
In 1959, founder Glenn Griffith and many others severed ties with the Bible Missionary Church over what they perceived to be an overly-lenient view of divorce, forming the Wesleyan Holiness Church.〔Moyer, Ina: The Way It Really Was, pp 15-18〕 Although the split devastated the church and slowed its growth, the Bible Missionary Church has grown with international branches in Canada, Mexico, the Philippine islands, Guyana, Ghana, Nigeria, Japan, Nepal, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Barbados, and Venezuela.
