Channel Islands

Bible College & Seminary

Founded out of a desire to bring seminary level education and training to the pew sitter, CIBCS operated from 1999-2012 as a fully accredited Bible college and seminary.  Its impact was community wide, national, and international, and continues today in the legacy of its alumni who use their training to equip the saints for the work of ministry.


CIBCS utilized a hermeneutics focused grace-based educational philosophy.  Being hermeneutics focused, CIBCS emphasized how to accurately study God's Word from the original languages in all courses, certificate programs, and degrees.  As a grace-based college and seminary CIBCS provided training paid for by God's grace through those who had both the desire and ability to cover cost of operation and publication of material.


Student records are managed by Spheres of Grace Ministries with transcripts available by request.
