Dr. T.L White Institute “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2;15) The T.L. White Institute is the educational extension of the New Zion Baptist Church. Named after the former Pastor (1951-1983), the Institute continues the legacy of sound Bible teaching at New Zion Baptist Church established during his leadership. The mission of the Institute is to advance the knowledge of our students in the Bible and the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The T.L.
