Mission and Founding
The mission of Better Covenant Bible College is to prepare adults for success in their spiritual walk and in ministry. Better Covenant Bible College is designed to lead you to continuous growth in all aspects of learning. …God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: (Daniel 1:17)
Founding
Better Covenant Bible College (BCBC) was founded by Dr. John T. Cahill in August 2020. Dr. Cahill saw a need for an institution that would offer adults the ability to delve deeper into the knowledge and understanding of who Jesus Christ is. BCBC was born through his passion and love for a deeper understanding of Jesus, and his quest for a deeper understanding of God’s word. It began with 26 hungry adults coming together to study and gain a deeper understanding of the Bible.
That first year, an associate degree in Biblical Studies was offered. Classes were offered from September 2020 to June 2021. In July 2021, 21 of the 26 students were awarded associate degrees.
In 2021, a bachelor’s degree was added to the curriculum, with the first degrees awarded in July 2022. To further enhance the institution, a master’s degree program was added in 2022. This degree was designed to be a two-year program, with the first year devoted to classroom study and the second year devoted to writing a thesis.
In September 2024, a doctoral program was added to the curriculum. This too, is a two-year program, with the first year devoted to classroom study and the second year devoted to writing a dissertation.
