Description
The vision of African Bible College is to offer quality, university-level education with a Christian emphasis to the people of East and Central Africa.
The chief aim of African Bible College is to train Godly men and women for Christian leadership and service. The curriculum is designed to prepare the colleges graduates for Christian vocation. The degree is designed to be either terminal or preparatory for further education. Students are being trained for Christian leadership; consequently, the college desires students who are committed to Gods guidance and dedicated to the Lords service.
African Bible College is distinctively a Bible college, and its courses are
designed to hold to the highest academic standards. Its four-year program is of university standard, and the degree offered is parallel to the Bachelor of Arts degree awarded by other international universities and liberal arts colleges.
African Bible College views mans character as a combination of spiritual and physical elements; and for man to function at his best, both elements must be nurtured. To concentrate on the one at the expense of the other is to fail to prepare the whole man and woman for holistic service. Consequently, African Bible Colleges four-year program includes both Theological Courses as well as Core Curriculum Courses.
History
The vision for Christian colleges in Africa began in the hearts of Dr. and Mrs. John W. Chinchen. After spending seven years training pastors in the interior of Liberia, the Chinchens realized the great need for a Bible College that would meet the educational and spiritual needs of the multitude of high school graduates emerging from an awakened Africa.
