Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute: Where Preaching Is Our Passion

Since 1946, Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute in Hendersonville has been a training ground for the Lord’s servants. The time I spent at Fruitland was the most meaningful and rewarding of all my theological training. It was there I learned how to faithfully study and proclaim God’s Word. Dr. Kenneth Ridings, through instruction and example, has been used by God to mold preachers at Fruitland for over forty years. For the last eleven years, he has served as President of Fruitland. Because of his faithful service to the Lord at Fruitland, the recently renovated Chapel on the campus has been named in his honor. A goal has been set to retire the debt incurred in the building of Kenneth Ridings Biblical Preaching Chapel before Dr. Ridings’ service comes to an end in December. I am humbly asking you who read this to prayerfully consider joining me in sending Fruitland a financial gift to help reach this goal.

Every time I step into the pulpit, I know that I have been blessed to have trained under truly gifted men of God such as Dr. Ridings. His influence in my life and ministry, and that of countless others, has been significant. My prayer is that the offerings we are able to send to Fruitland in his honor toward this sizeable goal will be multiplied many times over by others who appreciate biblical preaching and stand together with Fruitland in the calling to be “True to God’s Word and Loyal to His Purpose.”
