Our Mission

Calvary Chapel Bible College prepares students for Spirit-filled life and ministry through the study of Scripture in a Christ-centered community.

Our History & Vision

In the late 1960s, Pastor Chuck Smith and the leadership of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa played a central role in the Jesus Revolution Movement in Southern California, effectively reaching the present generation for Christ. In 1975, "Calvary Chapel Bible School" was established in Twin Peaks, California as an immersive Bible study program. It aimed to provide in-depth training in the Scriptures, equip individuals for service in the local church, and foster a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ultimately, our vision at Calvary Chapel Bible College is not simply to produce graduates who are knowledgeable about the Bible but to develop Christians committed to living out its teachings in their daily lives. Today, with a network of over 4,000 alumni serving the Church globally, Calvary Chapel Bible College continues this legacy of preparing students for life and ministry. By doing so, our students can help bring about positive change in a world that desperately needs hope and healing, whether in ministry, business, or any other calling.

Ways to Get Involved:

Annual Fund

We are seeking partners willing to support Calvary Chapel Bible College by contributing to our annual fund. Our goal is to find 500 partners and raise a total of $200,000 to support the ongoing work of the college and help us equip this generation to fulfill their calling.

Scholarship Fund

By providing scholarships, we can make education more accessible and affordable for students who may not have the financial means to pursue their dreams. This not only helps these students achieve their educational goals but also creates a more diverse and inclusive learning environment.

Scholarships not only alleviate the financial burden on students, but they also encourage academic excellence and motivate students to perform at their best. By recognizing and rewarding their hard work and dedication, scholarships can inspire students to strive for excellence in their studies and extracurricular activities.

Other Ways to Give

CCBC also accepts gifts of publicly traded stock and other appreciated assets and welcomes planned gifts through wills and estate plans. Gifts of real estate and other non-cash assets may also be considered.
