ABOUT US


The Diploma in Biblical Studies program will jump-start your faith with an intense immersion in God's Word. You'll learn the structure of the Bible, the story of the Old Testament, foundational Christian theology, spiritual formation and personal evangelism. Your faith will grow deeper, stronger, and more informed. You will learn personal spiritual disciplines (how to pray and study your Bible), and develop a lifestyle of faithful service with an internship at your home church. All of this is done in community with your classmates as well as College Pastors, staff, and a dedicated discipler serving as a spiritual and academic support through the year.  


The Associates in Christian Leadership and Ministry is our second year program, which provides further training in Biblical leadership skills, personal awareness and gifting, discipleship training, church planting, and preaching and teaching--so that each person can find and live out the calling God has placed on their life, both in church ministry and in day-to-day life.

Iowa location meets on Tuesday evenings for the DBS program and Thursday evenings for the ACLM program from 6:30-8:45pm.
