Salem Bible College is designed for the hungry, the thirsty, and the desperate; for those who want to grow as disciples of Jesus, minister to the Lord and be equipped as a voice for this generation. We believe this will be a life changing experience for all who participate and would love for you to join.
Curriculum & Discipleship
At SBC Online, students are immersed into a robust training curriculum that consists of teaching from key leaders throughout the body of Christ, intentional discipleship with fellow students, and life changing study of the scriptures. A central value to SBC is God-centered community. In Acts 2:42-47 we see a description of a community committed to a regular rhythm of prayer, the word, service, and fellowship with one another.
Students can expect to be immersed into the life of community during their time in SBC. We believe that lifelong spiritual friendships will be formed, hearts will be provoked in godliness, and a corporate cry for the fullness of God will arise in the midst of community life in the school. As well, students can expect to have the opportunity to serve together in a number of different contexts, to share meals together, and to have a lot of fun in the midst of the training program.
