Welcome to the Associate in Bible web page!

   You’re probably browsing this site because you’re trying to decide which of the thousands of colleges in the United States is the one for you.

   In addition, you probably also realize you need to start focusing your attention on a specific career path. There are so many opportunities available to young people in the 21^st century that choosing just one field of interest can be mind-boggling. Add to that the fact that you are a Christian young person striving to follow God’s will for your life, and the decision can seem impossible.

   Take comfort, though, because you’re not alone!

We often say "Give RBC a try for one year and see what a difference it can make in your life.” I’d like to extend that plea by saying, "Come to Roanoke for two years, graduate with an Associate degree in Bible, and see which doors the Lord may open for you in the process.”

Students who enroll in the Associate in Bible program usually do so for one of two reasons.

1. They know they want to go on to a secular college and obtain a degree, but they want a solid biblical foundation before they go;

or

2. They know they don’t want to go on to a secular college, but they do want a working knowledge of the Bible so they can be better workers in their local church.

If you fit into one of these categories, then the Associate in Bible program may be for you.

I invite you to take a closer look at Roanoke and consider enrolling in the Associate in Bible program. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email at rjw@roanokebible.edu. May God guide you in your decision.

ALUMNI QUOTES

My RBC education provided me with the answers to spiritual questions for which I had no answers when I attended a secular college. I only wish I had gone to RBC before I went there.

--Stanley Wayne Martin
1992 RBC Graduate

As a Christian school teacher, I have used many of the skills I learned at RBC. I love the knowledge of God’s Word I learned there. In four years, I learned what would have taken a lifetime for most people.

--Shana McCarter Cathell
1993 RBC Graduate

I believe RBC was the foundation of my adult life. It was the first time I was able to make my Christian walk my own instead of an extension of my parents’. I use the knowledge I received at RBC in every part of my life. I have used principles that I learned in "Family” class with President Griffin in my marriage and in raising my daughters. Now that I am an office manager, I use the psychology knowledge that I learned from Dr. Styons. Most importantly, I got a strong foundation in the Bible that aides my everyday Christian walk. Thank you, RBC!
