About
A Bible college like no other
An RBC education is designed to provide students with the knowledge of God and His holiness, equipping them for faithful Christian service in any vocation or calling.
“We provide students with the theological foundation, biblical worldview, and communication skills they will need—no matter what God calls them to do.”
Dr. Stephen Nichols, President
History
Training the Next Reformers
Dr. R.C. Sproul founded Reformation Bible College in 2011. Throughout his career, Dr. Sproul dreamed of establishing a college where the system of theology found in Scripture and outlined in the Reformed confessions could be taught by a trusted faculty to the next generation. The early Ligonier Valley Study Center had been an actual physical place for students to come and sit under the teaching of Dr. Sproul and other Reformed theologians. Dr. Sproul’s dream was to build a college that would be a place where students could once again come and be discipled face to face. A trip to Geneva offered the final inspiration. Seeing the academy started by John Calvin, impressed upon Dr. Sproul the importance of theological higher education for the next generation.
After much prayer and labor, the dream became a reality. Reformation Bible College opened its doors in the Fall of 2011, welcoming the first class of 27 students. In the Fall of 2019, RBC dedicated its new building and expanded campus. We look back in gratitude for the faithfulness of the Lord to RBC, its staff, faculty, and students. We also look forward in anticipation of what the Lord will continue to do through the ministry of Reformation Bible College.
From our president
Our name defines us. We are a college committed to theological higher education, grounded in and governed by the Bible, and rooted in the past while reaching forward for a new Reformation.
R.C. Sproul, our founder, had a distinct and clear vision for RBC. In fidelity to that vision, we provide a uniquely integrated and comprehensive program of biblical and theological studies. Additionally, we emphasize the great works of literature, history, and philosophy. We also seek to equip our students to be compelling communicators in an age when truth, goodness, and beauty are compromised, cheapened, and even denied.
At RBC, we are an intentionally small community of dedicated mentors and students because we believe that theological education is discipleship. The faculty and staff here at RBC are invested in the lives of our students and seek to see them grow in the knowledge of God and His holiness. As I interact with students, I am profoundly grateful for their commitment to God and deeply impressed with their sense of calling. We count it a privilege to play this role in their education.
If there is anything we can do to serve you, please connect with us.
Warm regards in Christ,
Stephen J. Nichols, Ph.D.
President
“My dream is that Reformation Bible College will supply this nation with a generation of articulate Christians who understand the Bible and their faith deeply, and live out that faith in every nook and cranny of the world.”
