And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”

(Ephesians 4:11-13, ASV)

Online Bible College Association

The Online Bible College Association (OBCA) is a directory of distance Bible education providers that offer biblical education, courses, certificates, diploma programs, or even online degrees in Bible or Theology through the internet or correspondence.

Institutions listed with the OBCA offer biblical education with shared common values.

If an institute or online educational program is listed with the OBCA it does not imply their endorsement of other institutions in the directory.

In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty.

Accreditation

The OBCA does not accredit the individual Bible teachers, educational programs, certificates, diplomas, or degrees granted by its listed members. Instead, it provides prospective students with a directory of teachers, colleges and other institutions offering online distance education.

While the OBCA does not regulate the format or content of online or correspondence education, nor supervise the quality of programs offered, it explicitly opposes unethical practices such as false accreditation claims or misleading information and practices. Members of the OBCA agree with this principle. 

The OBCA will randomly check the websites of members. In case these condition are violated, the member status will be taken away (without refund of the membership fees).
