Appalachian Bible College
With a curriculum founded on a biblical worldview, Appalachian Bible College is an independent Christian institution preparing students for a life in ministry. All ABC bachelor’s degree recipients major in Bible/Theology and choose from seven ministry minors including Music and Camping Ministry. Outside of academia, ABC also holds chapel services three times per week and every student is matched with a faculty or staff member as a prayer partner. ABC students provide further ministry to the community through the Chorale campus choir and King’s Characters puppet team.
