About
A Bible College like No Other
The vision of Reformation Bible College is to be faithful in educating students in the historic Christian faith, as affirmed in the Reformed confessions, so that they know, serve, and worship God in all of life.
“We must be people of the Book. We must love it, study it, meditate on it, teach it, defend it, and live by it.”
Dr. John Tweeddale, Vice President of Academics
History
Forming Christian Disciples
Dr. R.C. Sproul founded Reformation Bible College in 2011. Throughout his career, he 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 laid the foundation as a place where students could receive discipleship from Dr. Sproul and other Reformed theologians. A trip to Geneva offered the final inspiration. Seeing John Calvin’s academy impressed upon Dr. Sproul the importance of theological higher education for sharpening minds, forming Christian character, and strengthening callings for the glory of God.
After much prayer and labor, the dream became a reality. Reformation Bible College opened its doors in fall 2011, welcoming the first class of 27 students. RBC’s campus expanded in the following years, opening Founders Hall in 2019 and our residence hall in 2022.
We look back with gratitude on the Lord’s faithfulness to RBC’s 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.
Welcome to RBC
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 theological education is discipleship. Our faculty and staff are invested in the lives of our students and seek to see them grow in the knowledge of God and His holiness. We are profoundly grateful for the commitment our students demonstrate to the Lord and encouraged by 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. We would love to hear from you.
“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.”
