About Eternal Life Bible College "ELBC"
Welcome!
Eternal Life Bible College is a ministry training school located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Our primary purpose is to provide theological education based on the standards of the Bible. Eternal Life Worship Center established the college in 1999 with a vision to bridge the gap between God and humanity through the love of Jesus Christ.
At Eternal Life Bible College, we focus exclusively on the Bible as our main textbook. This means that, as a student, you will learn about the Bible and your relationship with God more than ever before!
Our desire is to empower men and women with a deeper understanding of the Bible and the Christian lifestyle. We value higher learning and provide a vehicle for those called into ministry to receive a quality, Bible-based education. Our courses are designed to educate students in various subjects of the Christian faith and provide them with a solid foundation in biblical studies. We teach our students to defend the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and serve others in love.
As the President of Eternal Life Bible College, it is my objective to provide you with the opportunity to pursue your biblical degree while receiving quality, Christian-based, Bible-centered training. We offer over 30 courses that you can take to prepare yourself to serve with confidence. You can enroll in our Bachelor of Theology program or take individual classes to suit your needs.
