More Than a Seminary. A Mission.

At Bridges, we understand the tension between calling and cost. That's why every faculty member volunteers their time—as an act of worship and service to the body of Christ. Of course our professors receive compensation, but ultimately they choose to sacrificially serve the body of Christ to advance the Kingdom of God.

Our 30+ professors hold master's and doctoral degrees, but more importantly, they're pastors, missionaries, and scholars who are still in the field. They teach on weeknights. They grade papers between mission trips. They lead local churches on Sundays.

This isn't a business model. It's a ministry. We exist because we believe theological education should be accessible to anyone God calls—regardless of their financial situation. That's why we do what we do. That's who we are.

Hear from Our Students

Daniel Nalley, BCCS Graduate in Illinois

My name is Daniel Nalley, and I graduated from Bridges Christian College & Seminary with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. Bridges offers affordable Christian education with high standards of academic excellence that is flexible for long-distance students. Bridges was a huge blessing as I finished my degree while serving as a missionary with Gospel Encounter. I live on the road from outreach to outreach, so it was impossible to finish my degree until I learned about Bridges. This is a school that is full of the Word and the Spirit. The professors all have served as pastors or missionaries, so their perspectives are not just from theory, but from real ministry. I plan on going back next year to complete a master's degree.

Devin Thomsen, BCCS Student in Iowa

I discovered BCCS while searching for cost-effective educational options for pastor's kids. As someone committed to lifelong learning, I had always envisioned returning to school to enhance my education. However, as a working wife and mother, I had nearly lost hope in realizing that dream. BCCS has truly been a blessing in my life. It not only offers affordable and flexible education but also provides a remarkable atmosphere. BCCS fosters a community of diverse, multi-generational individuals dedicated to following God's guidance. The professors, equipped with both academic and practical experience, personally invest in their students' lives. I feel incredibly thankful for the education, relationships, and opportunities that BCCS has granted me.

Abigail Broussard, BA Student in Louisiana

Bridges Christian College and Seminary has equipped me to walk confidently in the calling God placed on my life. They provide a fully accredited, Bible-based education without a financial burden that could have hindered me from doing God's will for my life.

Dannie Phillips, MABS Student in Florida

For years, I have wanted to get a Master's degree, but the price tag always made it out of reach. I'm so grateful that I discovered Bridges and can now earn an accredited degree debt-free! The teachers show expert knowledge and give practical life and ministry applications. They are warm, down-to-earth people. I wondered if online classes would be awkward, but I enjoy them and have gotten to know my fellow students. Bridges' commitment to ministry training and a conservative theological perspective made them the perfect school for me!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you take your next step with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bridges actually accredited?

Yes. We're accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. This is a fully accredited institution, so your degree carries the same weight as any traditional seminary.

How is this financially possible?

Our faculty volunteers their time as an act of service to the body of Christ. We operate lean, prioritize students over profit, and exist as a ministry first. It's possible because 30+ professors chose to make it possible.

Can I really do this while working full-time?

Absolutely. Most of our students work full-time or serve in active ministry. Our courses are flexible—live or recorded options—so you study when it fits your schedule. Early mornings, late nights, between ministry responsibilities—you make it work for your life.

Will you accept my transfer credits?

We evaluate transfer credits case-by-case. Send us your transcripts, and our admissions team will assess how your previous coursework applies. We want to honor the work you've already done.

Do I need to be Pentecostal or Assemblies of God?

No, but you should be comfortable with Pentecostal theology. We're part of the AG Alliance for Higher Education, and most faculty are AG-ordained. We welcome students from various backgrounds who affirm our statement of faith and value Spirit-empowered ministry.

How do I get started?

Simple: Submit an online application, send us your transcripts and references, then talk with our admissions team. They'll walk you through everything else. No pressure—just honest conversations about whether Bridges is right for you.
