Commonly Asked Questions
Our staff works hard to make sure that each student enters a discipleship relationship their first semester at Eternity. We realize that the transition is a hard one for many students and we know the importance of having someone that they can talk to and who can point them to Scripture. All students, new and returning, have the opportunity to be in a Discipleship Lab with a member of the faculty or staff, but beyond that many of our students seek out individual discipleship relationships with leaders in different churches and faculty and staff at Eternity. We desire that each student does not just attain knowledge during their time here at Eternity, but applies it to every part of his or her life.
Eternity Bible College is not affiliated with any denomination. Our students are active participants in a wide variety of churches and denominational backgrounds before, during, and after their time at Eternity. We believe that this diversity of denominational perspective enhances our students’ education.
All of our faculty are actively involved in local church ministries. They all have Master’s degrees or higher in different fields of theology, biblical studies, or biblical counseling. They are handpicked by the Academic Dean and President as people who are both knowledgeable about the Bible and pastoral in nature. Our faculty are available to students and are excited to see students grow and mature in their Christian walk. Click here for a brief description of each member of our faculty.

Expect a challenge. You can expect your student to be learning things that will challenge their worldview and teach them to see the world with God at the center. Your student will grow both academically as well as personally. Your student will be challenged in his or her devotion to God and service of Him in the world. Our hope is that your student grows into a mature Christian who understands the big picture of who God is and what He is doing in the world.
