About LBC Online
Louisville Bible College (LBC) began with a singular purpose – ministry preparation. Since 1948, it’s been our vision and mission to educate Christian leaders. LBC was founded to teach and train ministers and Christian workers under the banner of God’s inerrant Word. Our mission at LBC is to educate preachers and other Christian workers for Christ’s church.
Relationships are a primary dynamic of the LBC educational experience. Spiritual and emotional support of students is a hallmark of LBC faculty and staff, both in and outside of class. Each professor is deeply committed to Christ, grounded in the Word, experienced in ministry and genuinely concerned for every student.
LBC has grown substantially through the years and we continually look to the future while holding fast to the heritage of our faith. Our students and faculty reflect that common vision. In coursework and the pulpit, we practice the eternal values that are taught and lived at Louisville Bible College.
