Appalachian Bible College

Bible

Appalachian Bible College offers a one-year Bible Certificate to provide a foundation for living, no matter your vocation, guiding students in developing a solid, Biblical foundation for life. Three options are available: the Bible & General Education Certificate (mirroring the first year of a bachelor of arts schedule), the Bible & Ministry Certificate (concentrating on Bible, theology, and ministry preparation), and the nine-month Gap Year Bible Certificate.

Bible and Theology

The Bachelor of Arts Degree equips students with mastery of essential Bible content and study skills, competence in the expositional method, and whole-person development. All undergraduate students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Bible/Theology and a second ministry major of their choice. The curriculum incorporates a Bible/Theology major, general studies, professional majors, Practical Christian Service, participation in missions activities, and elective courses.

Biblical Studies

The Associate of Arts Degree allows students to gain a solid grasp on the Bible while also completing some of their General Education studies. It is great preparation for a life of service and prepares students for supportive ministries within the local church or for further education in a major not offered at ABC. In addition to the biblical foundation, the degree provides a broad academic foundation enhancing the student's understanding of the world and culture.

Ministry

The Master of Arts in Ministry program is a 36-hour professional curriculum developed for individuals actively involved in ministry, such as pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and Christian educators and leaders. It provides graduate-level training for students whose undergraduate work has a minimum of 30 hours of Bible and Theology. The content of the courses emphasizes the practical skills of communication, counseling, and leadership necessary for effective ministry.
