Anchor Bible College holds applicant status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation (ABHE). ABHE is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the U.S. Department of Education, and is the premier accrediting body for biblical higher education.
Anchor Bible College is a semi-autonomous division of Hope Community Church. We utilize classroom facilities owned and operated by Hope Community Church, maintaining a strong operational relationship, while operating under our own independent board of directors in keeping with ABHE standards.
Thanks to generous donors, volunteer leadership, and shared facilities with Hope Community Church, we minimize institutional overhead. This allow us to pass direct savings to our students, keeping tuition at an affordable $75 per credit hour.
Enrollment is open for the upcoming academic session. Visit the official Anchor Bible College website to submit your application or view the active course catalog.
