Central Christian College of the Bible

Our goal is to provide an affordable education to raise up as many servant-leaders for the church as possible.

We believe so completely in what our students can do for Christ that we want to equip them with a quality education at an affordable price to keep their future ministry from being burdened by financial stress. That is why we have been providing the Full-Tuition Scholarship since 2001.

Central Christian College of the Bible exists to develop servant-leaders for the church.Dedicated disciples who know God’s word and serve His kingdom.

We are affiliated with the Restoration movement and the resulting Christian Churches. These are non-denominational independent churches governed by the congregation that value a return to the church as written about in the New Testament. Because of this background, we hold a deep value in the authority of the inspired word of God and its authoritative voice in our lives today.

The college campus, on the other hand, has seen many changes over the years. The campus now includes three dormitories, an expanded educational facility, a resource center, a maintenance building, and a student center.It was originally located in a small building east of downtown Moberly. In 1968 Central moved to its present campus in southeastern Moberly. The facilities at that time included a main educational facility, a men’s dormitory, and a women’s dormitory. In order to keep up with growth demands, several buildings have been added since that time.

Central Christian College of the Bible was founded in February of 1957, when the board of directors, led by chairman O. S. Lincoln, unanimously declared and affirmed that “the purpose of the school is to recruit and train leadership for the church at large according to the New Testament teaching.” Central remains exclusively committed to pursuing this purpose. Through the years, growth has come in facilities, resources, and alumni. Graduates of Central Christian College of the Bible are serving across the nation and around the world. Central’s impact has become not merely regional, but global. With the worldwide placement of Central’s graduates, alumni are serving the Lord’s kingdom in the “uttermost parts of the earth.” Several dedicated presidents have led the College in its history.
