The curriculum at ABC is designed to help you become a moral leader, a critical thinker, and a servant-leader.
Take a look at our academic programs and you’ll recognize that ABC's commitment to training students to become agents of change in the world not only permeates the Biblical/Theological Studies degree but is a significant component of the degrees in other areas of study. The entrepreneurs, musicians, and case workers being prepared in our other programs of study can be agents of change and advocates for social justice in their career fields also.
