What is Free Will Baptist Bible College?
Our mission statement says it all: The Mission of Free Will Baptist Bible College is to equip men and women, through Bible-based education, to serve Christ and His Church.

We take our mission seriously--we educate workers for the kingdom of God, whether they serve God in a church or non-church career.

At FWBBC, we will help you discover God's plan for your life and give you the education you need to fulfill it.


What is a Bible College?
A Bible college is a Christian community of faith and learning, where Christian teachers and Christian students come together in community to learn God's truth and apply it to life.

It's a place where all areas of learning are centered on the Christian faith and supplemented by an in-depth component in Biblical studies.

It's a place where students have the opportunity to apply their faith hands-on by engaging in meaningful activities of Christian service--in the church and the world--with their fellow students.

It's a place where relationships are forged that will last a lifetime.


Can I afford a private college?
Yes! Your college education is one of the most important and expensive endeavors you will ever undertake. But we help you pay for your education by keeping costs low, helping you find financial aid in the form of grants, loans, and scholarships, and maintaining a job bank to help you find a job you enjoy.
