Here are some of the advantages of studying at Antioch Baptist Bible College, Institute, and Seminary (ABBCIS):
Strong Emphasis on Teaching the Word of God
Since ABBCIS is not a liberal arts school, our students take more Bible and theological classes than they would at a conventional liberal arts institution.
Practical in Nature
Our classes are designed to help those that are already serving in the ministry. Therefore, we try to be practical in our teaching so students can apply the information they are receiving in their current local church setting.
Low-Cost Tuition
ABBCIS’ tuition of $100.00 /credit hour is very low in comparison to other schools. Our current tuition rate works out to be less than $10.00 per class taken.
Graduate Debt Free
ABBCIS does not accept any federal grants or subsidies. Schools that accept Federal grants and loans have higher tuition rates. Students who get Federal loans eventually need to pay off their loans. We do not want our students to graduate with debt.
Strong Emphasis of Biblical Inerrancy
Our Doctrinal Statement states: We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the Bible, which has “God for its author, salvation for its end and truth WITHOUT ANY MIXTURE OF ERROR for its matter.” We believe that the Bible is the Word of God; not that the Bible contains the Word of God.
Local Church Oriented
Since ABBCIS started in 1968, it has been local church oriented. Our students and pastors are able to remain in their current ministry or home church as they are studying at ABBCIS. They continue to be a blessing and serve in the local church while they are studying with us.
