About Union Bible College

Changing the World with the Unchanging Word: A Legacy of Faith and Learning since 1861

Union Bible College stands as a beacon of academic rigor and spiritual development, tracing its roots back to 1861. Born from the vision of Quaker families during the tumult of the American Civil War, it initially served as Union High School, dedicated to providing a strong spiritual and academic foundation for young minds. Over the decades, it has evolved into a unique institution offering both high school and college-level education, guided by its powerful motto: "Changing the World with the Unchanging Word!"

What sets Union Bible College apart is its unwavering commitment to preparing students for lives of purpose and service. In the early 20th century, recognizing the need for dedicated spiritual leadership, the institution expanded to incorporate training programs for aspiring ministers and missionaries, establishing Union Bible Seminary in 1911. This deep-seated commitment to faith-based education continues today, fostering an environment where students can grow intellectually and spiritually, ready to make a tangible impact on the world.

Today, under the leadership of President Dr. C. Adam Buckler, Union Bible College embraces an interdenominational status, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds who share a common desire for a transformative education. Prospective students and their families will find a community dedicated to academic excellence, personal growth, and practical ministry, ensuring graduates are well-equipped to serve wherever their calling leads them. It's a place where history meets future, and faith empowers action.
