Heritage

Since our founding in Chicago by evangelist D. L. Moody in 1886, Moody Bible Institute has trained and equipped men and women to impact the world for Christ.

Beginning with Emma Dryer, the teacher who inspired Moody to launch a Bible training school in Chicago, the history of Moody started in education with establishment of the Chicago Evangelical Society (pre-cursor to Moody Bible Institute) and later Moody Aviation.

Moody's far-reaching ministry soon expanded thanks to groundbreaking milestones in Christian media, from development of a major book publishing house to the launch of WMBI and Founder's Week. D. L. Moody's commitment to pursuing God's call on his life and his heart for making the gospel available to every person serve as the foundation for each of Moody's ministries.
