Montana Bible College was born out of a desire for Christians in Montana to have the opportunity to pursue a solid, Bible-based education without having to leave the state. The founders worked, prayed, and planned, and Montana Bible College held classes for the first time in the fall of 1987. In the early days of MBC, classes were small and the facilities were limited, but the Lord was gracious to provide.

With the passing years, the Lord faithfully answered the prayers of MBC's founders. As the school fulfilled its call to help students grow in their commitment to Christ and preparedness to serve Him, He provided additional students and adequate facilities. Throughout the existence of the College, God has blessed by providing a high-caliber faculty who are qualified to teach in a Bachelor of Arts degree program. Montana Bible College began the Bachelor's program offering a pastoral ministry or general ministry emphasis option.

Over the last two decades, the Lord has grown MBC in several ways. The size of the student body has increased to over 100 students. The College has added full-time faculty to its excellent group of adjunct instructors. A one-year Certificate in Biblical Studies program has been added, along with three additional emphasis options (all of which are now considered concentrations ): Missions, Biblical Counseling, and Christian Ethics and Culture. These curriculum expansions offer students a wider range of options in their course of study.

MBC's facilities have also expanded with the addition of library, student union and office space, as well as two residence halls. In addition, we are moving forward in the accreditation process with the Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).

Accreditation has been a long-time goal of the college. As of February 2008, MBC now holds candidate status with the Association for Biblical Higher Education, 5575 S. Semoran Blvd, Ste 26, Orlando, Florida, 32822-1781, (407) 207-0808. Candidate status is a pre-accreditation status granted to those institutions that meet the ABHE Conditions of Eligibility and that possess such qualities as may provide a basis for achieving accreditation status within four years. Our credits are transferable to most Christian colleges, and some credits transfer as general elective credits in the State of Montana University System (MSU and UM). Our degrees have been recognized by major seminaries where students from MBC have pursued graduate studies.

We praise God as we see the fruit of His work at MBC. Students' lives are transformed, and graduates are literally serving all around the world. It's truly an exciting time to see His will displayed and fulfilled in this place. We invite you to become a part of His work at Montana Bible College .
