Central Bible College

At Central Bible College, we specialize in preparing men and women, just like you, to fulfill their role in the family of God. CBC has this mission and only this mission: to train ministers and missionaries for tomorrow’s Church. Spirit-filled faculty dedicated to this cause diligently prepare and working many disciplines: preaching and evangelism, missions, urban ministry, church education, music, multimedia, communications, church administration, pastoral studies and many other areas of ministry.

The founding of the General Council of the Assemblies of God in 1914 was marked by an emphasis upon the need for training ministers and missionaries. Central Bible College was established in 1922 in response to this need.

Central Bible College’s rapid growth, three other schools merged with CBC: Bethel Bible Training Institute of Newark, New Jersey in 1929; South Central Bible College of Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1953; and Great Lakes Bible Institute, Zion, Illinois, in 1954.
