We glorify God and serve His Church by providing higher education centered in Holy Scripture and shaped by Wesleyan conviction. This allows us to prepare faithful servants who proclaim Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness throughout the world.
Our vision is to develop a spiritually, vibrant institution that is academically excellent, growth-oriented, student-centered, and financially sound.
We have top-notch faculty working in Biblical languages, theology, apologetics, counseling, educational technology, mentoring, and ministry practice.
We offer many topics to choose from, including Biblical studies, world missions, education, music, and professional studies, to name a few.
Our ABHE accreditation certifies that we are Biblically based and ministry oriented. Our Regional accreditation certifies that we operate at a high level of excellence in everything we do. Together these accreditations assure our students that they are receiving the best possible education for life and ministry.
SSC staff offer consultations for any writing assignment at any stage of the writing process—from brainstorming for ideas to making final revisions. Appointments, walk-ins, and online submissions are welcome. The Student Success Center (SSC) is located in the R.G. Flexon Memorial Library. It is open throughout the week, giving students opportunities to take advantage of academic assistance, whether for a specific class or classes in general. The SSC's mission is to enable students to meet the academic requirements of their courses and improve their learning techniques.
SSC writing consultants provide feedback and suggestions to students either through face-to-face appointments or electronic communication for online submissions.
As a teaching and mentoring college, we work hard to make quality advising and counseling available to our students. While faculty focus mainly on academic advisement, students often seek counsel from academic advisors related to other areas' difficulties.
When students feel overwhelmed because they are taking challenging classes and trying to work a full-time job, the pressure tends to affect more than academics. Emotional difficulties might surface. Relationships might suffer. Spiritual vitality may be sapped. Therefore, the student's advisor knows the most about these matters and is in an excellent position to help. To find your advisor, contact your division.
The counseling/advising program is an essential part of campus life at God's Bible School and College. It is provided by the Counseling Center, Vice President for Student Affairs, Resident Directors, and various faculty and staff members.
Students at little or no charge. The counseling office is located on the lower classroom level in the Knapp Memorial Building. To make an appointment, contact the Student Affairs Office for phone numbers to contact the counselors directly. In addition to the on-campus counseling, the college works with off-campus counseling centers and offers referrals when needed or when students request off-campus options.
Ordained clergy are available to students for pastoral counseling, prayer, and advising. In addition to the professional and pastoral counseling available, faculty and staff members provide lay counseling and advising to assist students through difficult times and decision making.
The campus libraries of God's Bible College include the R.G. Flexon Memorial Library, the Schmul Library, Ministerial Resource Center, the Gale Center, and Library, and the College Archives and Special Collections. Students may apply for the numerous privately funded scholarships that are available. These scholarships are awarded according to each scholarship's specific criteria, the student's merit, and need. Awards range from $50 to as high as $5,500.
The International Student Scholarship is for international students who have graduated from high school and show proof of financial need. This is a tuition-only scholarship for up to 8 consecutive semesters.
Students who graduate from high school with valedictorian or salutatorian honors and receive high overall scores on the SAT or ACT plus Writing may be eligible for a scholarship. Verification of valid/sal must be submitted in writing from the high school or clearly show a #1 on the final transcript. Home school students may also be eligible based on SAT / ACT plus Writing scores.
Students whose parents are involved in full-time Christian service may be eligible for a discount on tuition. Their ministry occupation must be their primary source of income. This is a 20% tuition-only discount that is applied after another financial aid is awarded.
Our leadership provides the direction, vision, and accountability that has kept us right to our mission and His mandate for over 115 years. Our entire leadership team gives oversight to all the areas of campus life. They each seek to create a culture of leadership that is modeled on the Word of God. At the same time, this culture is lived out to prepare our students for servant leadership.
Today you see mission changes all around you, in business and government, and even the church. But when you look at us, you see a mission that has remained the same for over 100 years. As in 1900, so today, we welcome students into a community where personal transformation takes place as the Holy Spirit calls, prepares, and propels men and women into lifelong discipleship and ministry.
You see this in the godly, capable staff and faculty who mentor students into driven disciples — from the students who became the Ten Boys of Japan in 1917, to Brennan and Ivon Muir in Mexico in 2015.
