Lancaster Bible College

Lancaster Bible College (LBC) stands as a beacon of Christian higher education, committed to equipping students to impact the world for Christ. From its humble beginnings in 1933 as the Lancaster School of the Bible, LBC has grown into a vibrant academic community, dedicated to integrating biblical truth with robust academic inquiry across diverse fields. Students here discover a deeply faith-centered learning experience, preparing them not just for careers, but for lives of purpose and service.

The institution's journey reflects a steady expansion of its educational offerings. Initially focused on foundational biblical studies, LBC received official approval in 1981 to confer the Bachelor of Science in Bible degree, solidifying its academic standing. Further evolution saw the establishment of a graduate school in 1994, allowing the college to award Master of Arts degrees in Bible, Ministry, and Counseling, as well as Master of Education degrees, significantly broadening its reach and academic depth.

Today, LBC continues to innovate, adapting its programs to meet contemporary needs, as demonstrated by the integration of its former Philadelphia site's offerings into robust online programming. This commitment ensures that LBC’s distinctive blend of academic excellence and spiritual formation remains accessible, fostering a supportive environment where students are challenged to grow intellectually, professionally, and spiritually, all within a welcoming campus in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania.
