History

The school was founded as Appalachian Bible Institute in 1950 by Dr. Lester E. Pipkin and Rev. Robert S. Guelich. Pipkin served as the school's first President until he was replaced by Daniel L. Anderson, current president, in 1983.[1]

Academics

All students who enroll in ABC's dual-major Bachelor of Arts program have one major in Bible and Theology and choose another ministry-related major. Additional programs include a Bible Certificate and an Associate of Arts. The school also offers online courses through ABC Connect, and on-campus modular classes for its Master of Arts in Ministry degree.

In 2014, ABC began offering accredited courses to inmates at Mount Olive Correctional Complex, West Virginia's maximum security prison. Mount Olive Bible College students are enrolled in the Pastoral ministry major. The first graduating class received Bachelor of Arts degrees in December 2018.[2]

Accreditation

ABC is accredited by both the Higher Learning Commission and the Association for Biblical Higher Education.[3]

gollark: Even an efficiency maximiser has an ethical system. Broadly speaking. A goal system, at least.
gollark: Also convenience.
gollark: I, of course, do ethical things based on averaging various philosophy-derived ethical systems, arbitrary human intuition, and a neural network thing which weakly approximates average human judgements.
gollark: You can ignore those, but good luck spreading your preferred ethical behaviour patterns in that case.
