We offer an efficient degree program that allows the time and finances to obtain an undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies while having the resources to complete compatible certifications for
bi-vocational ministry simultaneously. Homestead College of Bible offers instruction of an avocational nature that does not lead to an occupational objective but, rather, for personal gratification and knowledge.
Vision
Homestead College of Bible has a vision to make knowledge of the Bible more accessible by offering degree programs at the undergraduate level for men and women at their places of residence. The college provides programs focused entirely on the study of Scripture, encompassing Biblical Studies and Theology.
Mission
Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive education of the Scriptures using the Scriptures themselves, in order to impart to students the greatest amount of knowledge and understanding from the Bible. The Bible is the reliable and indestructible foundation for all true progress of humanity. Its origin is of God, our Creator, and its supreme theme is Jesus Christ His Son (2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 10:7).
Objective
The main goal of this institution is to address the lack of Bible knowledge in America, by reintroducing the study of the Bible at higher academic levels. We aim to provide comprehensive Biblical education to equip the saints with a solid understanding of the Bible in private and public life.
