Indian Bible College labors at one task above all others: teaching the Word of God. That central activity is our contribution to God's program. A Bible college links the Word to life, providing an intensive form of discipleship.

The Bible stands at the crossroads of our curriculum. Each program of study has three components:

1. Bible and theology—to help students know what God has said.
2. Ministry—to help students communicate that message to others.
3. General education—to help students apply the Word to every area of life and learning, and draw insights from all areas of learning to help them mature as well-rounded representatives of the gospel for their society.

  Indian Bible College is distinct from other Bible colleges in that it specifically targets Native American students who are pursuing full time ministry.  The student/staff ratio is extremely low, allowing for individualized instruction and courses specifically designed for each particular audience.  Remedial help is available for those struggling with English as a second language while the general level of education is maintained according to generally accepted standards.  Our conservative doctrinal stand sets us apart from other Native American Bible colleges.

Programs of Study

IBC offers one, two and four year programs. The one year program is a basic Bible study certificate program that is designed to meet the needs of special bi-lingual or missionary students. A two year Associates of Biblical Studies program is offered for students who are unable to commit the time to complete four years or who wish to finish a degree at another college or university. The Bachelor of Biblical Studies Degree is the centerpiece of the IBC curriculum. This program is designed to give students a good grasp of Bible interpretation, the contents of biblical books, theology and practical ministry skills. Both the two and four year programs can be taken for certificate credit by those who do not possess a high school diploma.

IBC also offers extension courses which are primarily taught in reservation churches. These courses are designed to meet the needs of laymen and ministers who are unable to relocate to an on-campus program for training. Often graduates of the school, pastors or missionaries with sister missions teach in the extension program. The instruction may be in English or in a Native tongue such as Navajo.
