Academic Catalog - Central Christian College of the Bible

Student Reviews:
“I had previous education at other colleges and felt like a number. I
did not feel as if the professors there cared about my well-being or if I
actually even understood the content of the class. At Central, the
professors pour into their students and share their lives with their
students. If I did not understand, they would work with me until I did.
They truly love and care for their students.”
“I have learned more about my Lord and Savior and grown into a
deeper relationship with Him.”
“I love the professors here. They actually care if you are learning and
about your well-being outside of the classroom. This has really
encouraged me in my studies and my overall learning experience.”
“The professors and the classes have really helped me to become
closer to God.”
“The Central environment is so unique and special! I think the
classes are great and the information I’ve received has been really
helpful. But more than that, I think the people here have stretched
me more than anything. The staff, the students; they are all
phenomenal and I’m so glad to have been a part of this.”
“CCCB has done well to facilitate a comfortable and safe learning
environment in a community that supports and encourages one
another.”
“Teachers and staff model character-based leadership and provide
opportunities to lead.”

“Central has helped mold me into the Christian leader I am today by
having a faculty and staff of caring individuals who would not give
up on me. The people at CCCB have truly made my college
experience something I will never forget.”
“Whether in school, at church, or in my own home, CCCB has gone
above and beyond every expectation I had for a Christian college. I
am a better person because of CCCB.”
“It has helped stretch my mind to grasp Biblical concepts and
understand the importance of Scripture. The respect I have attained
for Scripture has happened especially due to this institution.”
“Central has encouraged me to think in ways I never had before!”
“Professors invest lots of time and energy into helping me grow. The
expectations are high. We are given many opportunities to get our
feet wet in experiencing real-life ministry.”
“I have learned who I really am here.”
“I am an online student but I can say the online experience I have
had with all the professors has been amazing! The students in the
courses are also very supportive and helpful to each other.”
“Since I enrolled at CCCB the College has been nothing but
beneficial.”
“I have been exposed to so many different types of people from all
different areas of the country, denominations, ages, backgrounds, and
beliefs. I feel like I have a better understanding of people in general
and myself as well.”
“It has been a great place to grow in my knowledge of Christ. I have
great ministry opportunities at churches, internships, and on the
mission field.”

MISSION STATEMENT

the church. As a traditional undergraduate Bible college, Central equips men and
women for leadership in the Kingdom of God both nationally and internationally.
Central seeks spiritually-minded students who actively participate in their local
congregations, have the intellectual ability to study at the college level, and

Affiliated with the Restoration Movement, Central seeks to graduate faithful
servant-leaders distinguished by authentic Christian character, who have the
ability to communicate the Gospel effectively and become disciple-makers
worldwide. This mission obeys the Biblical mandates of 2 Timothy 2:2, “Pass on
what you heard from me…to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others”
[The Message] and Matthew 28:19, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the
nations….” [NASB]

Authority – Submitting to the Lord Jesus Christ and the inspired Word of God.
Spirituality – Developing true believers who become lifelong disciples.

FACTS ABOUT CENTRAL
HISTORY
Central Christian College of the Bible was founded in 1957. The founding board
of directors, meeting in February of 1957, was led by chairman O.S. Lincoln in
unanimously declaring and affirming 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.

General Information
From 1957 to 1968 the campus was located east of downtown Moberly on Ault
Street. In 1968 the College moved to its present campus in southeastern
Moberly. 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.”
LOCATION
Area
Central’s campus is in the north-central Missouri city of Moberly, the largest town
in Randolph County, with a population of approximately 14,000. The community,
located 90 miles south of Iowa on Highway 63 and 70 miles west of Illinois on
Highway 24, provides a friendly atmosphere with numerous job opportunities.
Other educational opportunities in the immediate area are provided by Moberly
Area Community College and Moberly extension campus of Columbia College.
Campus
The campus is located on 40 acres in the southeastern part of Moberly. Moberly
Middle School, Moberly High School, and Zion Lutheran Church are adjacent to
the College’s property. To find the campus, take US Highway 63 to Moberly and
exit at Urbandale Drive/Route M. Follow the signs to go west one mile and the
campus is on the north side of the street at 911 E. Urbandale Drive.
Facilities
Central’s campus features seven buildings and two outdoor athletic fields.
Pelfrey Hall contains the dining hall, gymnasium, offices, and classrooms. Reese

Hall is the men’s residence hall and Spurling Hall is the women’s residence hall.
North of Pelfrey Hall is the maintenance facility. Built in 2004, Mabee
Foundation Hall houses both men and women on separate floors. The Walton
Student Center opened in Fall 2010 to provide a place for Central’s student body
to fellowship and relax together.

Christian service, and by employing Central alumni.
As a result of being listed in the Directory of Higher Education, Central is
approved by the Missouri Department of Higher Education for certification
and distribution of veteran’s benefits allowing veterans to receive all the benefits

programs. Central participates in the Pell Grant Program, the Work-Study
Program, the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, the
Academic Competitiveness Grant program, as well as the Federal Stafford
Student and Parent PLUS Loan Programs.

Student
Development
Because Central Christian College of the Bible exists to develop servant leaders
for the church, all aspects of student life are intentionally focused on developing
students and unleashing their utmost potential in Jesus Christ to advance the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Students and alumni describe their time at Central as a rich, rewarding, exciting,
and educational experience. The Student Handbook details the events, services,
groups, and policies that foster a positive campus community. A copy is available
as a downloadable file at cccb.edu/resources. Each student is responsible to read
the Handbook and uphold the expectations and standards therein.
Prospective students and their families visit Central’s campus throughout the year
and experience a slice of life at Central. Central sponsors programs that enable
prospective students to visit the campus and enjoy the fellowship. Individual and
group visits may be scheduled and arranged through the Admissions Department
(admissions@cccb.edu). Prospective students may schedule a personal campus
tour at cccb.edu/campusvisit.
CAMPUS SERVICES
The College provides several services to support a productive campus community
and to aid the Christian growth of students.
BOOKSTORE
Located in the Reese Resource Center, the College bookstore provides textbooks,
Bibles, office supplies, music, snacks, College apparel, and supplementary
commentaries & books.
CHURCH RELATIONS PROGRAMS
One benefit to Central’s students is the abundance of congregations within
driving distance of Moberly that want student preachers. This area of service
continues as congregations acknowledge that Central’s students are dedicated to
preaching the Bible.
Central coordinates several programs that link the churches and the College. This
work falls into four areas: (1) helping churches to find ministers and youth
ministers from among the students, (2) scheduling programs by speakers and
groups, (3) providing staff and student supply preachers on an ongoing basis,
and (4) keeping and providing lists of churches looking for ministers and
ministers who are available to move.

Student Development
COMPUTER SERVICES
Computers are available for use in conveniently located computer labs in the
Library and the Walton Student Center. Tablets and laptops are also available to
check out from the IT Store. Internet access is available throughout campus for
student-owned computers and devices which are properly configured for
connection to the campus network. Currently registered students have access to
designated computers. Wireless Internet is available in key locations on the
campus, enabling students to access the Internet in the library, lobbies, dining
hall, residence halls, classrooms, and select outdoor locations.
COUNSELING SERVICES
Some students may require religious counseling as a condition for enrollment or
disciplinary probation. If the Vice President of Student Development makes
counseling a requirement for the continued enrollment of a student, the student
may either find counseling from one of the counseling professors or an approved
outside source.
Central has student intern counselors, who serve under the direction of
counseling professors. These interns are advanced students of the College’s
Christian Counseling program. The counseling interns are not part of the staff or
administration of the College.
FOOD SERVICES
Central’s food service is provided by Pioneer College Caterers. Their various
offerings provide students the opportunity to make informed nutritional choices.
Pioneer’s program features monthly specials and bonuses, two entrée choices at
all meals, salad bar, make your own deli sandwiches and subs, and a rotations bar
featuring a variety of concepts such as Mexican, pasta, pizza, and more. The
Harvest House Coffee Shop, located in the Walton Student Center, also offers
espresso and frozen drinks, sandwiches, and snacks for purchase by staff and
students.
HOUSING
Central students taking 7 or more credits (age 24 or younger) enjoy campus life
in one of Central’s three residence halls. (Note: Some exceptions are listed in the
Student Handbook. The Dean of Men or Women must approve all exceptions.)
The normal residential rate covers a room with two occupants. Students may pay
an additional charge for a single-occupancy room, if available. Laundry facilities
are provided in each of the residence halls. Apartments and homes are available
in the Moberly area at a reasonable cost for married students and single students
age 25 and older who desire to live off-campus.
LIBRARY
The operation of the library is explained in the Library Handbook. A distinctive
feature of Central’s library is the collection of missionary files begun by the
Walter Coble family of Garrett, Indiana, and kept current by the library staff. This

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 11
Student Development
is one of the most complete files on independent missions compiled anywhere.
The library also features computers, periodicals, audio-visual material, ATLA
Serials online periodicals collection, the Learning Center, professor offices, a
collection of rare books, and Athena, the electronic catalog system.
MAIL SERVICE
Central maintains a complete on-campus Post Office. UPS and Federal Express
pickup is available at the receptionist’s desk. Inter-campus mail is delivered
through student mailboxes in Pelfrey Hall and via email.
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
Central’s attractive buildings and grounds are the result of the maintenance
department’s efforts. Campus maintenance work provides jobs for some students.
Dormitory residents are required to do only routine cleaning in their rooms.
SAINTS SEMINAR
An orientation program is provided at the beginning of each semester to help
new students adapt to life at Central. This three-day seminar includes
information about registration, academic advice, spiritual development, and
student life. Students receive a grade and one credit upon completion of the
course, which is listed in the catalog as GSS100.
CHAPEL
Central’s campus community gathers in the Ferneau Center every Tuesday and
Friday during the school year for praise, worship, and celebration. These special
gatherings are designed to develop servant leaders and serve as the heartbeat of
our campus community. The chapel speakers are normally area preachers, visiting
evangelists, faculty members, or graduating seniors.
Students receiving the Full-Tuition Scholarship are expected to attend all chapel
services. Attending fewer than 80% of the gatherings will result in reduction of
the student’s scholarship and the potential for disciplinary action. The Financial
Aid Director may approve an alternative chapel attendance plan for students who
must miss chapel regularly. Students may also experience chapel online. The
Student Handbook provides the policies and procedures for these exceptions.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE
The College encourages its students to use their various talents in some form of
ministry or service. Our goals include every student actively involved in service to
the Lord’s kingdom while enrolled at Central. The majority of our graduates
continue to serve Christ in some specialized ministry after leaving college.
Every student receiving the Full-Tuition Scholarship participates in a Christian
Service project for an average of two hours per week. This participation is
monitored by the Financial Aid Office. Failure to report at least 80% of the

12 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Student Development
required Christian Service for a semester results in a reduction of the student’s
scholarship the following semester.
The Student Handbook contains the policies and procedures of the Christian
Service program. The Director of Student Services provides counseling to help
determine what avenues and places of service are available.
DISCIPLESHIP
Central’s spiritual growth opportunities are a key component of developing
deeply spiritual leaders for the church. Central fosters spiritual growth through
the bi-weekly chapel services, weekly groups in SALT courses, residence hall
devotions, freshman Christian Discipleship class, the Christian Service program,
student-led ministry groups, an annual day of prayer and service, student revival
week, and relationships with local churches and service organizations. Each
student is also strongly urged to have private devotions each day.
Many students serve in local ministries and participate in short-term mission trips
around the globe. Students are encouraged to participate in the activities of the
many area churches. Many other opportunities to witness for Christ are provided
while studying at Central as the student grows in ability and initiative.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Special activities provide students with an opportunity for recreation, relaxation,
and expression of truths learned in the classroom, times of study, and personal
devotion. Though these extracurricular activities are considered essential
functions of school life, they do not outweigh the importance of academic
studies. Because of this, students are encouraged to limit their involvement in
groups or organizations, even though each may be worthwhile.
Students should limit their involvement in extracurricular activities to what they
can manage without affecting their studies. Students on Academic Probation and
Academic Warning are restricted from leading student groups, mission trips, and
participating in activities that require missing class.
Intramural sports for Central's students, staff, and faculty may include sports and
activities such as basketball, flag football, dodge ball, ultimate Frisbee, volleyball,
kickball, chess, checkers, foosball, billiards, and Ping-Pong. The Student
Handbook further describes these activities.
ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
Central Christian College of the Bible is a member of the Midwest Christian
College Conference, the Association of Christian College Athletics
(www.accathletics.org), and the National Christian College Athletic Association
(www.thenccaa.org). Central fields teams in women's volleyball and basketball
and men's soccer and basketball. Members of an intercollegiate athletic team
must be full-time students (twelve or more credits). Students are eligible for
participation in a varsity sport if their cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) is at

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 13
Student Development
least 2.00, they earned at least 12 credits the prior semester of enrollment, and
they meet Central's scholastic and community life standards.
FIELD EDUCATION
Central’s field education program provides the opportunity to serve in a located
ministry under the supervision of an experienced leader. Each student seeking a
Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree is required to complete this
program. The field education requirement is normally completed before or
during the student’s fourth year. Field education consists of work done at a
remote field and must be completed prior to graduation.
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Central’s student leadership initiatives are a key component in developing servant
leaders. The College believes that every student possesses incredible potential
for influence and leadership. Student leadership opportunities are provided
through departmental groups (missions, preaching, youth & family, etc.), Student
Council, student-led ministry groups, the chapel program, SALT discipleship
groups, the Honors Program, campus employment, athletic teams, travel teams,
supply preaching, area churches, and service organizations. SALT courses, three
Student Council leadership retreats, and regular collaborative gatherings provide
leadership development opportunities throughout the year.
STUDENT DISCIPLINE
A mature Christian practices self-control and self-discipline within the framework
of the New Testament. Personal, formative discipline is an integral part of the
student’s daily life. Campus activities, classroom lessons, counseling, and
Christian service assignments are all involved in helping students shape their lives
to be a transformed Christian.
Because of the dedicated students who come to Central, corrective discipline is at
a minimum. The purpose of discipline at Central is to cultivate leadership
development and to maintain a campus environment conducive to learning,
spiritual growth, and academic excellence. Central’s community life standards
listed in the Student Handbook support the mission of the College to develop
servant leaders for the church.
When standards are violated, appropriate intervention seeks to restore the
student’s alignment with expectations, to produce personal growth within the
student, and to restore the highest level of campus community. Central’s
paradigm of intervention is redemptive, relational, positive, and contextual. The
principles of Matthew 18:12-17 guide Central’s intervention and serve as a
curriculum for student growth and practice. Disciplinary meetings and actions
are designed to treat students justly, to educate students, and to promote
restoration and community responsibility. The Student Handbook contains a
comprehensive explanation of Central’s disciplinary policies and procedures.

STUDENT GRIEVANCE POLICY
Any student who believes that he or she has received unfair treatment may
communicate a grievance through the proper channels. The student's grievance
must be communicated either in person or in writing through the following
officials, in order:
• Residence Director
• Dean of Men or Women
• Dean of Students
• President of the College
• Association for Biblical Higher Education (see page 8)
If the grievance concerns the residence hall, the first person to be contacted
should be the Residence Director, followed by the Dean of Men or Women.
If the grievance concerns the classroom, the first person to be contacted should
be the individual professor in question. Appeal by the student for treatment
received from a professor may be made to the Vice President of Academics, Dean
of Students, or the President.
If the grievance concerns the business of the College, the first person to be
contacted is the Vice President of Business & Finance.
If the student does not receive satisfaction from the first person contacted, the
next authority may be contacted. Each avenue must be exhausted before the
student proceeds to the next. In matters that concern accreditation of the
College, the Association for Biblical Higher Education may be contacted if no
other satisfactory resolution is found.

Admissions
Policies
Whether already interested in a particular area of ministry or unsure of where or
how to serve Christ, potential students are invited to seek enrollment at Central.
We hope their time here will provide a season of ministry preparation through
solid Biblical instruction received in the classroom, examples of Christian leaders
both in and outside the classroom, and ministry opportunities presented to
practice servant leadership skills. Many students who begin their studies without
a clear direction in mind will finish with focus and purpose – be it in vocational
ministry, church leadership, or other areas of servant leadership.

TUITION CHARGES
A tuition charge is applied to the bill of all students. Students qualifying for the

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
VETERANS AID
Financial assistance may be available to veterans of the armed services or their
dependents. Questions concerning eligibility should be directed to the nearest
Veterans Administration Office. Once eligibility has been established, please

positions on campus. Jobs available include workers in the
maintenance department, the offices, and the dining hall. Students who are
interested can download a job application from the College website.
WEEKEND MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
Employment in some part-time ministry capacities is generally available in
connection with the many congregations within driving distance of the campus.
Such opportunities serve to reinforce the Christian education at Central as
students find immediate application for what they are learning.
OFF-CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Numerous employment opportunities become available every year in the
Moberly area. Many employers call our offices and request workers. Because of
the excellent work record and dependability exhibited by former students, a
student who wants to work can usually find a job.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Students are expected to pay bills in a timely manner. Such financial integrity is
expected of Christian leaders and must be demonstrated in order to be enrolled
as a student at Central.
FEDERAL RETURN OF FUNDS POLICY
The U.S. Department of Education has developed software for colleges to
calculate the return of Title IV funds. Central will use this software to calculate
the appropriate return of funds for students who withdraw from all classes and
have received Federal Title IV financial aid for the current semester of enrollment.
Central will provide upon request a printout of the calculation formula generated
by the software.
In many instances, students whose accounts were “paid in full” at the beginning
of the semester may end up owing Central after withdrawing due to the
differences in the General Refund Policy of Central and the Federal Return of
Funds Policy. Other students who have received federal grant funds to pay for
non-institutional costs may end up owing repayments to both Central and the
federal government.
REFUND POLICY
No refunds on any fees or charges will be given to students who are
dismissed or who officially withdraw from all or a portion of their classes or
programs. The following exceptions will be honored.
1. If a student has received orders to report for Active Duty in the Military, the
student must present a copy of their military orders.
2. If a student is suspended in an effort to rehabilitate and is expected to do so.
3. If a student becomes unable to attend school due to a medical condition, the
student must present a written medical release from attending classes from
his/her doctor.
4. If a student’s immediate family has an emergency because of major illness,
death, or other family loss which would cause undue hardship for the family if
the student remained enrolled, that student may be considered for a refund.
A written request must be submitted by the student’s parent or guardian and
the student explaining the situation and requesting to be excused from
further class attendance.
All documentation for refunds must be presented to the Vice President of
Business & Finance for approval. Approved refunds are based on the date of
submission. If approved, a student will receive a grade of W for all withdrawn
courses, which will not affect the student’s GPA. However, those courses will be
included in the calculation of the student’s completion ratio.
If a student meets one of the above exceptions and gets the approval of the Vice
President of Business & Finance, then a refund will be credited to the student’s
account in the following manner. During the first week, the student will get a

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 23
Financial Information
90% refund of student fees and room & board. After the first week, refunds will
be prorated according to the academic ratio and room & board according to the
number of days remaining in the semester. Refunds will only be given on student
fees and room & board. No refunds will be given on any other fees or charges,
including single room upcharges.
REGISTRATION PAYMENT POLICY
In order to attend classes, a student’s bill is to be paid in full by the Monday
following registration week. The following exceptions will be honored:
1. If a student has completed the process for federal financial aid, the College
will require only that the student pay the obligation that will remain after
application of this aid and the Full-Tuition Scholarship (if applicable).
Completion of the federal financial aid process includes completing all forms
required to receive the aid, including, but not limited to, the FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student Aid), tax transcript, and loan documents (if
applicable). Completion also includes satisfying the requirements of
verification, if selected.
2. The College may consider non-federal awards (from churches, service clubs,
or other promised awards) and decrease the payment required prior to
attending classes by the amount of such awards only if the College receives
written notice stating the award name, sponsor, amount, date of
disbursement, and notice of no award restrictions.
3. If the student has a signed payment plan in place and is current on that plan.
However, if the student terminates the plan or defaults on the plan, full
payment is due immediately.
If the College determines that the student’s financial aid will not be available, the
student shall be notified in writing of the remaining obligation. The student shall
have seven days from the date of notification to settle the remaining obligation.
Nonpayment will result in the student’s withdrawal from the College.
FULL-TUITION SCHOLARSHIP
The Full-Tuition Scholarship is available for onsite, degree-seeking students in
Central’s degree programs. Online students are charged a reduced tuition rate
but are not eligible for the Full-Tuition Scholarship. The amount of the tuition
scholarship is determined by the following guidelines:
• The amount of tuition scholarship received will cover the full cost of up to 18
credits a semester.
• The student must meet Central’s Satisfactory Academic Progress policies.
• A part-time prospective student may take one classroom course for two
semesters at a nominal fee without paying tuition.
• Paid staff members of a congregation and their spouses who are college
graduates may take one course per semester at no charge for continuing
education with proper documentation from the church’s leadership.

24 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Financial Information
The presence of outside scholarships or grants does not reduce the fullscholarship
amount. Central’s scholarship(s) will be credited to the student’s
account who meets all eligibility and maintenance requirements. The Full-Tuition
Scholarship may consist of restricted internal scholarships awarded by Central
based upon the qualifications, need, and GPA of the recipient student. If a
student receives an outside scholarship that can only cover tuition, the College
will apply an equivalent portion of the Full-Tuition Scholarship to other charges.
SCHOLARSHIP REDUCTIONS
A student’s Full-Tuition Scholarship may be reduced if the student fails to meet
any of the following criteria:
• A scholarship student is expected to make Satisfactory Academic Progress
(SAP) as detailed below. A student who fails to maintain SAP may lose some
or all internal aid.
• A scholarship student is required to complete at least 80% of the expected
Christian Service Hours in a semester. Failure to complete these hours by the
end of the semester will result in a reduction of the tuition scholarship to
80% for the next semester.
• A scholarship student is expected to attend at least 80% of the required
chapel services in a semester. Failure to attend these services in person or
through approved alternatives will result in a reduction of the tuition
scholarship to 80% for the next semester.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS
In order to receive federal aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) should be completed as soon as the family’s tax returns for the previous
year are filed. Central’s federal school code is 014619. Students who have
completed their FAFSA and Central’s application processes will receive an Award
Letter listing the federal and institutional aid for which they qualify.
LOSING FINANCIAL AID
Students maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) by earning a minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.00 and a course completion rate (pace) of 70%. These are
also the minimum academic requirements to graduate. If it is determined at any
point that a student will not be able to achieve the cumulative GPA or the pace of
the degree requirements, that student’s Federal Financial Aid will cease.
A student may only receive financial aid for up to 150% of the total credits
required for a single degree program. (Example: A student pursuing a degree
requiring 132 credits can receive the tuition scholarship for up to 198 credits.)
This cap will include the amount of credits a student has attempted at CCCB, as
well as all credits that have been transferred in to the student’s degree program.
This 150% restriction applies both to federal aid and the Full-Tuition Scholarship.

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 25

WARNING
A student is placed on Academic & Financial Aid Warning when either of the
following conditions are true: A CGPA below 1.70 (less than 30 credits earned) or
2.00 (30+ credits earned) or a pace below 50% (less than 30 credits earned), 60%
(30-59 credits earned), or 70% (60+ credits earned).
A student placed on Academic Warning will be notified by the Financial Aid
and/or Academic Office. Students who have been placed on Academic Warning
have one semester to regain SAP or be placed on Academic Suspension. While
on Academic Warning, the student will make an Academic Recovery Plan (ARP)
with the Vice President of Academics. If a student regains SAP after a semester
on Warning, they will be notified by the Financial Aid and/or the Academic Office.
SUSPENSION
A student is placed on Academic & Financial Aid Suspension when either of the
following is true: A student receives a semester GPA below 0.70 (leads to
immediate suspension without a semester of warning) or a student has not
regained SAP after a semester on Academic Warning.
A student placed on Academic Suspension will be notified by the Financial Aid
and/or Academic Office. Suspended students may only enroll after successfully
reapplying. However, students on suspension may not receive federal or
institutional aid, take more than two courses per semester, seek a degree or
certificate, or live in on-campus housing.
While under suspension, a student may regain SAP by regaining CGPA of 2.00
and a completion rate of 70%. Once it is determined that a student has regained
SAP, all internal and federal aid will once again be available.
Students on Academic Suspension have one (1) year to appeal the suspension, at
least two months before the re-entry term the student desires to return. Student
appeals must explain why they failed to achieve SAP and what has changed that
will allow them to make SAP in the future. Appeals regarding academic
suspension or warning should be made to the Vice President of Academics and
will be decided by the Academic Policies Committee.
If the Academic Policies Committee approves the appeal, enrollment and financial
aid may be reestablished and the student will be placed on Academic Probation.
PROBATION
A student who successfully appeals Suspension is placed on Academic &
Financial Aid Probation. However, the student’s tuition scholarship will be limited
to 50% until SAP has been recovered. While on Academic Probation, a student
must establish and follow an ARP. Students on Academic Probation must earn a
semester GPA of at least 2.00 and a completion rate of at least 67% for the
semester. Failure to follow the ARP will result in Academic Suspension the
following semester.

26 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Financial Information
FINANCIAL AID APPEALS
A student has the right to appeal any decision for removal or reduction of
scholarships within 10 days of notification. Appeals must be made in writing
through the Financial Aid Director to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee, which
presides over all federal aid and internal aid appeals. Its members are the
Registrar, the Financial Aid Director, and the Vice President of Academics. Votes
may be obtained by individual consultation, e-mail, or meeting vote. Majority
vote will rule all appeals. The committee has no authority to waive academic
requirements for continued enrollment.
ONLINE STUDENTS
Financial aid evaluation and eligibility is slightly different for online students.
Students will be evaluated at the conclusion of every session for internal
cautionary purposes. A student who regains SAP after one session within a
semester who has been on suspension may be taken off suspension and regain
Federal Financial Aid. A student who loses SAP after the first session of a
semester will be limited to one course during the second session.
Evidence of student disengagement within a session may result in immediate
financial aid suspension and a possible return of Title IV funds.
An online student who is suspended may take one course per session until they
regain SAP by regaining a CGPA of 2.00 and a completion rate of 70%. No
scholarships or federal financial aid will be given.
Online students who wish to make a purchase from Central’s IT store with their
federal student aid must have an actual credit balance on their account due to
funds from federal student aid having been applied to their account and a refund
due to the student before the purchase is authorized.
RETURNING STUDENTS
A student who wishes to pre-register for the Fall semester must by July 1 make a
non-refundable deposit of $200, less all pending federal financial aid. This
deposit is not a fee, but is applied to the student’s account for the Fall semester.
A student who desires federal financial aid to be applied to the pre-payment
must have completed the FAFSA by June 1. The FAFSA must contain a valid EFC
(Expected Family Contribution) number. Pending Aid of $200 by July 1 may
include any one of the following:
1. A personal payment
2. Pell Grant
3. Student Loan (if all necessary work is complete and submitted by June 1)
4. Outside scholarships applied to the student’s account.
Students who fail to complete the FAFSA or do not make the pre-payment in a
timely manner are charged the incomplete registration fee for the Fall semester.

Academic
Policies
All students are expected to follow the academic policies of the College in
matters of their enrollment and coursework. Please consult the Academic Office
if there are any questions about the following policies.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic Integrity is expected of all students. Students are expected to avoid
dishonest means to complete assignments and perform better on tests. This
includes using plagiarism, past materials, or cheating to improve performance.
Plagiarism is using anyone else's intellectual property without attribution. This
includes copying materials from another student's term papers, the Internet, or
print sources without proper attribution. Also prohibited is recycling material
from assignments in other courses without the permission of the professor.
Students are expected to demonstrate integrity by not giving or receiving
information during any test or examination, or on any other individual
assignment, unless the professor so specifies. Past tests or term papers should
not be distributed to other students without the express permission of the
teacher. Students wanting academic help may obtain it from the Learning
Center, but should not receive course materials from past students in a course.
Any student having knowledge of an infraction of this principle should report the
infraction to the professor in charge, having first confronted the offender to give
him or her an opportunity to confess.
When taking tests, students should be careful not to lead their brother or sister
into temptation by displaying or sharing information. All students are to do their
own work to earn the grade they deserve. Cheating or plagiarism of any kind will
result in a zero for the assignment, which may lead to failing the course.
In any case of academic dishonesty, a faculty member may (1) make the student
repeat the test or assignment for full or reduced credit; (2) give the student a zero
on the test or assignment; or (3) give the student a failing grade for the course.
Once the penalty is assessed, the faculty member shall file a written report of the
incident with the Vice President of Academics. Academic dishonesty may result in
the suspension or dismissal of the guilty party or parties. Any student accused of
academic dishonesty may appeal in writing to the Vice President of Academics,
who will convene the Academic Policies Committee to review the case.
ACADEMIC HONORS
The Dean's List is published twice a year in the College's newsletter (The Sentinel).
Each semester, it recognizes students who earn at least a 3.50 GPA that semester
with at least nine credits attempted.

28 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Academic Policies
Students who have earned over 60 credits at Central are eligible for Who's Who
Among Students in American Colleges and Universities and are selected by the
Faculty. The Faculty also recognizes graduating seniors who demonstrate
superior achievement in academics, leadership, and Christian service as members
of Delta Epsilon Chi, the academic honor society of the Association for Biblical
Higher Education. Other awards specific to departments are chosen by faculty
members and recognized at the annual Honors Chapel.
Special awards are given to baccalaureate graduates for work of exceptional
merit. Valedictorian and salutatorian awards are granted to the students with the
highest and second highest GPA, respectively. To qualify, students must have
earned 90 credits from Central, complete the final 30 credits of their degree at
Central or a partner institution, and graduate within ten semesters of original
enrollment. Graduates with at least 60 credits taken at Central are graduated
cum laude if they have a GPA of at least 3.50 for the credits taken at Central,
magna cum laude for a GPA of at least 3.75, and summa cum laude for a GPA of
at least 3.90.
ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL FORMATS
Most courses in the schedule meet on a weekly basis. Other educational formats
for classes are described below.
CONFERENCES FOR CREDIT
A focused conference can be utilized to meet partial requirements for an
independent study course. When approved by the supervising professor
conducting the independent study, students can be absent up to one week of
classes in a semester in order to attend the conference. A student’s academic
advisor may also approve a conference to be attended for no credit. To obtain
approval for absence(s), students must gain conference approval by an academic
advisor or supervising professor before attending. Students may only be
approved to attend one conference per semester. Students on Academic
Probation or Warning may not be approved to miss class. Students must
complete a form available from the Registrar in advance of approved absences
for conference attendance.
FOCUSED COURSES
Focused ministry courses, scheduled occasionally, provide opportunities for
students to learn from faculty/ministry practitioners in an intensive format. For
each of three weekends that a focused course meets, the general schedule is
Thursday (6-9 pm), Friday (1-5 pm; 6-9 pm), and Saturday (8-11 am; 12-2 pm).
Attendance at focused courses is crucial, as they have fewer class meetings. As
soon as they schedule a focused course, students should make every effort to
adjust job schedules. In most focused courses, students are given some work to
complete before and after the course’s regular meetings. All work is due by the
deadline set by the instructor.

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 29
Academic Policies
INDEPENDENT STUDIES
From time to time, to meet the individual needs of students, faculty may provide
courses not offered in the regular schedule. This sometimes is necessary during a
student’s last year of enrollment, when a course needed for graduation is
unavailable.
Registering for an independent study course requires the approval of both the
instructor and the Vice President of Academics. Students must pay the
Independent Study Upcharge. Students are limited to one independent study
course for each subject area and to a total of three such courses. An exception
may be made for students pursuing Modern Language Electives.
Students are allowed an independent study course when an alternative course
requirement is not available to be scheduled. Independent study courses must
be completed by the end of the registered semester. Independent study courses
apply to a student’s maximum credits attempted in a semester.
Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 in order to be approved for an
independent study. A student who does not successfully complete an
independent study will not be allowed to register for a different independent
study course until the first one has been successfully repeated.
The instructor creates a syllabus which lists reading, writing, meeting, and testing
assignments with a workload comparable to taking the course as usually offered.
ONLINE COURSES
Central offers some Internet-based courses that apply to a degree or certificate.
These courses require Internet access and regular access to a computer. Regular
online courses are taught by Central’s teachers and last eight weeks. Orientation
to Online Studies (GCS 100) is required to pursue a degree or certificate.
SUMMER BREAK COURSES
During summer break, courses may be available in the weeks following the spring
semester or online during the summer. Students register for summer courses
before or during the spring semester.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Central students are expected to be responsible members of a scholarly
community. An essential component of ministry preparation is developing a
professional work ethic that includes dependability, timeliness, and initiative.
Students who miss class develop habits which are not tolerated in the workplace.
Consequently, each student should plan to attend all classes.
APPROVED ABSENCES
A student is only excused from classes for college-related absences. Such
absences result from participation in officially sponsored College activities (such
as intercollegiate athletics, approved class field trips, ministry conferences, or
outreach trips on behalf of the college). Absences for a class will be approved

30 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Academic Policies
when the student coordinates make-up work with the professor. However, those
absences still are counted toward the total semester absences for that class.
PERSONAL ABSENCES
Personal absences include those resulting from sickness, personal/family
emergencies, or ministry-related situations (i.e., weddings, funerals, etc.) A
student may miss the equivalent of one week per course each semester without
grade penalty (7% of course meetings for short-term courses). Make-up work for
a personal absence is only accepted with the permission of the instructor
according to the policy listed in the syllabus. Prior approval for personal
absences is not necessary; however, a considerate student will inform the
instructor in advance when an absence is planned.
TARDINESS
Each student is expected to be seated in the classroom when class begins. A
student who arrives in class after the roll has been taken or leaves class early
without permission is considered tardy. A student who misses over half a class
period will receive two tardies. Students who leave class for an extended period
of time may be counted tardy or absent. Three tardies count as one absence.
EXCESSIVE ABSENCES
A student may be penalized for excessive absences. The student’s grade will be
penalized according to the formula given in the syllabus. The penalty may be as
much as 10% of the grade for the course, at the discretion of the instructor. To
discourage students from extending vacations into class time, two absences may
be counted for each session that a student misses immediately preceding or
following Thanksgiving Break in the Fall or Outreach Week in the Spring.
More than three weeks of absences lead to failing the course. If this limit is
reached by the midterm grade report, the student is dropped from the class and
receive a grade of FW (“failure due to excessive absences and withdrawn”), unless
the student has already dropped. If the limit is reached after midterm, students
receive a final grade of F unless they drop the course before the deadline.
The following chart details the penalties that apply for excessive absences:
No Penalty 5% Penalty 10% Penalty Failed
Class Frequency Up to 1 week Up to 2 weeks Up to 3 weeks >3 weeks
1 class per week 0-1 2 3 > 3
2 classes per week 0-2 3-4 5-6 > 6
3 classes per week 0-3 4-6 7-9 > 9
4 classes per week 0-4 5-8 9-12 > 12
Focused class Up to 3 hours Up to 6 hours Up to 9 hours > 9 hours

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 31
Academic Policies
ABSENCE APPEALS
A student who believes excessive absences are a result of extenuating
circumstances should contact the VP of Academics with written evidence of the
absences (medical, family, or legal documentation). The student should continue
to attend class and complete assignments until the appeals committee rules on
the appeal. If the appeal is approved, the student will be allowed to stay in the
class or be given permission to withdraw past the drop deadline. If the appeal is
rejected, the student will receive a failing grade.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Program students are actively pursuing the academic requirements of a
certificate or degree. Non-program students are taking selected subjects for
credit, but are not pursuing completion of a certificate or degree. Only program
students are eligible for government grants such as Pell Grants.
Students with less than 30 credits completed are considered freshmen. Those
who have completed at least 30 and less than 60 credits are considered
sophomores. Those who have completed at least 60 and less than 90 credits are
considered juniors. Those who have completed at least 90 credits, but have not
been graduated, are considered seniors.
(A student’s classification can change after a semester in which the credits
completed qualify the student to be classified at the higher level.)
CLASSROOM DECORUM
Students help maintain an environment conducive for learning so the classroom
experience is successful. A complete policy on classroom decorum is found in
the Student Handbook. Students are expected to be ready to start class on time,
stay in class until it is over, save conversations until after class, ask clarifying
questions without creating argumentation, avoid distracting the class through
inappropriate behavior, and respect the teacher’s authority to set policies.
Teachers create policies on a number of issues; the student is expected to abide
by all of them. These may include, but are not limited to, food and drink
restrictions, late work, usage of electronic devices, not accepting questions until
the end of class, or anything that they think will be beneficial to the learning
experience. Any student believing that a particular policy is inappropriate should
address the concerns in writing to the teacher or the Vice President of Academics,
while continuing to follow the policy.
WARNINGS
Students who violate the classroom decorum policy may receive a verbal warning
for the first violation, written notice for the second violation, and dismissal from
the class for a third violation. The appeals committee of the faculty will hear any
petition by dismissed students.

32 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Academic Policies
1 st Violation: Warning – On the first violation of this policy, a student will be
given a verbal warning by the teacher, either at the time of the violation or the
end of class.
2 nd Violation: Written Notice – On the second violation, a student will be issued
a written reprimand by the faculty member, copied to the academic office.
3 rd Violation: Dismissal – On the third violation, a student will be officially
removed from the class. The Academic Policies Committee will hear any appeal
by dismissed students. The student may attend class until the appeal is resolved.
DISABILITIES
Central Christian College of the Bible will comply with the provisions of Title III of
Americans with Disabilities Act as a public accommodation, and will provide
reasonable accommodation to persons otherwise qualified who follow the
College's ADA procedures, inasmuch as the reasonable accommodation does not
constitute an undue burden or fundamental alteration for the College. A person
with a disability is someone who has a physical or mental impairment, has a
record of such impairment, and/or is regarded as having such impairment. A
student is considered a qualified student with a disability if he or she can meet all
standards and perform all functions required for admission, participation, and
continuation in Central's programs and activities.
The College will make any appropriate and reasonable adjustments for students
with disabilities to ensure accessibility to academic activities (courses and
examinations) and nonacademic activities (admissions and recruitment, admission
to programs, academic adjustments, housing, financial assistance, and
counseling). Students desiring help with a disability must notify the Academic
Office of the disability, provide current and comprehensive documentation
concerning the nature and extent of the disability, and articulate their needs for
the disabilities service provided on campus. Complaints concerning disabilities
compliance can be presented to the Dean of Students.
GRADING POLICIES
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
The finals schedule is published at the beginning of the semester. Students are
expected to take their finals at the regularly scheduled times and plan
accordingly. Weddings, airline flights, high school graduations, or convenience
are not considered valid reasons to reschedule final examinations. Those who do
not take the final at the prescribed time may receive a grade of zero.
GRADE REPORTS
To help students and teachers track student progress, the semester is divided
into two grading periods. At the end of the first grading period, mid-semester
grades are posted to the student’s online portal. A few weeks after the semester
ends, the final grades and GPA are available online within the student’s portal.

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 33
Academic Policies
GRADING SCALE
Grades are determined by some or all of the following: the student’s participation
in class discussion; the student’s attitude toward the class and class work; quizzes,
collateral reading, and projects; term papers (Paper formatting must follow Kate
Turabian’s Manual for Writers [8 th ed.]); occasional tests; and a final examination.
Course syllabi may indicate the exact formula to be used for calculating the
grades in each course. Professors may occasionally modify the default grading
scale in the course syllabus to suit the particular needs of the course.
The following grade system prevails:
A 95-100 4.0 A- 92-94 3.7
B+ 89-91 3.3 B 86-88 3.0 B- 84-85 2.7
C+ 81-83 2.3 C 78-80 2.0 C- 76-77 1.7
D+ 73-75 1.3 D 70-72 1.0 D- 68-69 0.7
F 0-67 0.0
FW ...................... Failure due to excessive absences and withdrawn
W ........................ Withdrawn from a course
AU ...................... Course was audited by a student, no grade was given
I ........................... Incomplete grade (temporary)
IP ........................ In progress (temporary)
LATE OR INCOMPLETE WORK
All work in fulfillment of course requirements is due according to the schedule
indicated by the instructor. Late work is generally not accepted by a professor.
Some professors may allow late work, subject to a substantial grade penalty for
lateness. Students who know they will miss a test or an assignment due date
because of a college-related absence should inform their instructor, in advance,
of the absence. Assigned work is due at the time set by the professor.
If a course has a major assignment which has not been completed, a student may
fill out a Petition for Incomplete form and ask the instructor for an incomplete
grade. This grade of “I” counts as a zero towards the student’s semester GPA.
The student is charged $50 if approved for an incomplete. If permission to make
up incomplete work is received before the end of the semester, all such work
must be submitted no later than four weeks after the close of the semester. After
that, all incomplete work receives a grade of zero and the final grade is calculated
and included in the student’s academic record.
REPEATING A COURSE
A student may repeat a course in a later semester. The grade for a course retaken
at Central will replace the earlier grade earned, to a limit of four such courses. If
the course is passed, only the higher grade is for GPA calculations, although both
grades will appear on the student’s transcript. Any student desiring to take a
course again after failing it twice must have the approval of the instructor.

34 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Academic Policies
Students who fail a course are encouraged to retake it as soon as possible.
Students are charged the Course Retake Fee the second time a course is taken.
The fee is not charged if a student had an earlier approved withdrawal from all
courses in a semester for extenuating circumstances.
Registering to repeat a previously passed course is only allowed after preregistration
to preserve space for students who have not yet taken the course.
GRADUATION POLICIES
A student enrolled for consecutive semesters may be graduated under the
degree requirements of the first semester of his or her attendance. Students who
had an enrollment lapse of one semester or more may be graduated under the
requirements in which they initially enrolled if they can complete the
requirements within one year of the date their class would have been graduated.
A student who desires to graduate under the requirements of a new catalog may
do so providing that all of the new requirements for the degree are met.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Degrees are awarded to those who have satisfactorily completed the following:
1. At least 30 credits at Central for an associate degree and at least 60 credits at
Central for a bachelor’s degree, with the final 30 credits earned at Central,
2. All course requirements as outlined in the student’s chosen program,
3. A minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.00,
4. Evidence of Christian character as demonstrated by compliance with the
Student Handbook,
5. Submission of an Intent to Graduate form (available from the Registrar). This
form may be submitted in the spring semester when fewer than 42 credits
remain for completion the next May, in the fall semester when fewer than 28
credits remain for completion the next May, or by February 1 if fewer than 22
credits are remaining to be completed that semester.
6. Approval by the Faculty after the Intent to Graduate form is submitted,
7. Completion of all institutional assessments,
8. Payment of the graduation fee(s).
Responsibility for understanding and meeting graduation requirements rests
entirely with the student. Diplomas are only released when all requirements are
complete, including payment of all financial accounts due the College. A student
may participate in the commencement ceremony only if all requirements are
completed by the end of the Spring semester. This includes Field Experience,
independent studies, online courses, transcripts for transferred courses, and
passing all courses taken in the final semester.
LEARNING ASSISTANCE
Students who are in need of academic support are identified and provided with
resources to improve their performance.

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 35
Academic Policies
INCOMING ALERT
New students will be placed on Incoming Alert if there are no official records of a
standardized test (ACT or SAT) score above the 50th percentile. A composite ACT
score below a 21 or an English score below a 21 will place a student on Incoming
Alert. A transfer student with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 will also be placed on
Incoming Alert.
Students on Incoming Alert are limited to 14.5 academic credits for that semester
and required to attend supervised study sessions. Students enrolling on
Incoming Academic Alert will also be scheduled for guided study in College Skills
and/or English Skills.
LEARNING CENTER
Students are expected to complete all coursework individually. However, limited
assistance is available through the Learning Center, located in the Reese Resource
Center. The Learning Center provides help with proofreading, accountability,
planning, computer usage, and study strategies. The Learning Center also
contains the College's foreign language laboratory, providing computer-assisted
instruction on dozens of modern languages.
In addition, the Learning Center provides proctoring for examinations that
students must take outside of class time. Allowing a test to be made up is at the
instructor’s discretion, so the Learning Center will follow the professor’s policy.
Proctored examinations must be taken by a deadline set by the instructor.
Students with disabilities who need extra time or services, such as reading
questions, may schedule to take exams in the Learning Center.
Students registered under Academic Warning or Academic Probation will be
scheduled for the Private Study Skills course. As part of their Academic Recovery
Plan, students in Private Study Skills must spend at least one hour per week in the
Learning Center.
PRIVATE TUTORING
A tutor is available for any student who is failing a course at any time during the
semester. When a student encounters academic trouble, the instructor may
notify the Registrar, who will assign a tutor to the student. Availability of such
help is subject to the tutorial staff’s overall workload.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICIES
A Leave of Absence (LOA) allows students to return and complete a degree after
one or two semesters away from Central. LOA applications are available on the
College website. An approved LOA may last up to two consecutive semesters.
CRITERIA
In order to receive an LOA, the following criteria are required:
1. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.00.
2. The student must have all bills paid to the College.

36 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Academic Policies
3. The student must be registered the semester immediately preceding the
request for the LOA.
4. The student must have no pending disciplinary action (dismissal, suspension,
or probation).
5. The student must submit documentation for an Extended Field Experience,
Medical LOA, or approved studies at another institution.
6. The student may only apply for an LOA prior to the first semester in which
the LOA would apply.
BENEFITS
Some benefits of an LOA are these:
1. Students do not pay the reactivation fee upon re-entering after an LOA.
2. Students are allowed to pre-register during the priority registration period
for the next semester’s classes, as if currently enrolled.
3. Students’ status for personal student loans could be LOA for 180 days,
providing a deferment in repayment. After an additional 6 months, if the
student does not return to school, repayment of student loans will begin.
The Financial Aid Office can further explain this process.
4. Students returning from an LOA continue to earn the Federal Student Aid
previously awarded for the period.
OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT
Central Christian College of the Bible is involved in an ongoing process of
outcomes assessment in accordance with the requirements of accreditation in
higher education. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate learning
outcomes and the quality of the various programs, including the general
education core. Students are expected to participate in assessment by giving
their best efforts. The findings of assessment serve to improve the academic
experience at the College.
REGISTRATION POLICIES
Students are assigned an advisor who must approve their schedules before
courses can be registered in the online portal. The standard course load for a
semester is about sixteen credits. A student must take at least twelve credits to be
considered full-time.
Since all of the courses in the curriculum are one-semester courses, a student
may begin enrollment in a Spring semester as well as in a Fall semester. A
second-semester matriculant will not be allowed to enroll in classes for which the
first semester’s work is prerequisite without permission of the instructor.
SEMESTER COURSE LIMITATIONS
Incoming students may not register for more than 18.5 credits during their first
semester. Students who are under Academic Warning or Academic Probation
must register for fewer than 14 credits.

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 37
Academic Policies
LATE REGISTRATION
Students who register late for a semester are responsible for work missed. No
student shall be allowed to register after one week of classes has elapsed.
Exceptions may be made by the Vice President of Academics in rare cases
involving uncontrollable circumstances.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is the standard of measurement a school
uses to ensure a student is successfully progressing through the degree
requirements. There are two components of SAP, qualitative and quantitative.
The qualitative component is based on the Cumulative (CGPA). The quantitative
component is the ratio of credits earned divided by credits attempted (pace). To
maintain SAP at Central, the following general standards are required: a CGPA of
2.00 and a pace of 70% for all graduates.
ONSITE STUDENTS
Students not making SAP will be placed on Academic Warning, Academic
Suspension, or Academic Probation, both for academics and financial aid. The
conditions for these are found in the Financial Policies section of this catalog.
Academic Recovery Plans
An Academic Recovery Plan for students on Academic Warning or Academic
Probation includes the following conditions:
• Enrollment in less than 14 credits per semester.
• Re-enrollment in any failed class(es) offered that semester.
• Enrollment in Private Study Skills with a personal tutor.
• Restrictions on online or focused classes.
• Limitations on extra-curricular leadership positions.
Within these conditions, the Academic Office may customize the plan based on
the student’s needs. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Copies of the plan will be kept in the files of the Head Tutor, the Financial Aid
Office, and the Registrar. The student’s tutor will meet with and counsel the
student throughout the semester to ensure that the student follows the ARP. If a
tutor finds that the student is not following the ARP, the tutor will notify the
Academic Office to provide further counseling to the student. In addition, failure
to follow the ARP may cause the student’s financial aid to be affected in the
middle of the semester.
At the end of each semester, the Academic Office will determine each student’s
ARP success. The Financial Aid Office will notify students of their academic status
after each semester. Students who did not follow the plan or meet the outcomes
will automatically be placed on suspension.

Academic Policies
SCHEDULE CHANGES
All schedule changes are processed by the Registrar with a nominal fee. A local
student who needs to withdraw from a course for any reason must do it before
the time noted on the College calendar as the Drop Deadline. Online classes
follow a different timeline. Online students should send an email to
registrar@cccb.edu to process a change of schedule.
ADDING A COURSE
Subject to availability, a student may add a course within the first full week (or
equivalent) that the course meets.
AUDIT TO CREDIT
If a student has been doing the course work for an audited course, the
registration may be changed from audit to credit by midterm.
GRACE PERIOD
If a student drops a course by the end of the first full week of classes, it will not
appear on a transcript and will not count as a course attempted for financial aid
calculations.
MIDTERM EXCESSIVE ABSENCES
If students have stopped attending a course before midterm, they must drop it
by midterm in order to avoid a grade of FW for excessive absences.
SECTION CHANGES
Students may change from one section of the same course to another section
during the first three weeks of the semester, but only under the following
conditions:
• Open seats must be available in the other section.
• The teacher(s) must approve the change.
• Absences accrued in one section are transferred to the other section.
WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES
To withdraw from a course, a student must contact the Registrar, pay the
appropriate fee, and complete paperwork authorizing the withdrawal. The course
will remain on the student’s transcript with a grade of W. Courses dropped after
the Grace Period and before the Drop Deadline do not affect the student’s GPA,
but are included for financial aid purposes as courses attempted. This may affect
the student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress.
TEXTBOOKS
Every student is to have the required textbooks for all classes in a semester. The
student portal lists textbooks for each course. These are available for purchase at
the beginning of the semester through the college bookstore. Some textbooks
are also available electronically through Amazon Kindle, Logos Library System, or

2013-2015 Catalog Page | 39
Academic Policies
other publishing systems. Central’s library has copies of the textbooks, but they
are not available for checkout during a semester the course is offered.
TRANSCRIPTS
Students may print their own unofficial transcript using the student portal or pay
$5 to the Registrar for an official transcript. A signed request is required using a
form available online at cccb.edu/transcripts. Please allow 5-7 days for a
transcript to be processed. A free official transcript is included with the
graduation fee and is mailed shortly after graduation. Transcripts for a third
party must remain sealed to be considered official.
TRANSFER CREDIT
Students at Central may apply course work from other institutions to their
degree. Credits transferred do not affect a student’s GPA at Central, but are used
to determine class standing (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior). Students
who have received college credit via dual credit in high school courses or from
other college courses are required to have the college granting credit to send a
transcript before any credit can be applied at Central.
Credits which are earned at accredited institutions and apply to a program at
Central are fully accepted, provided that the grade for the course is a C- or above.
Comparable credits earned at non-accredited institutions may be accepted
provisionally, subject to validation by the student satisfactorily completing 15
credits at Central with a C (2.00) average.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING
Central may accept up to 15 Credits for Prior Learning (CPL) if it has been
transcripted by an accredited college and applies to a CCCB degree.
CORRESPONDENCE CREDIT
Central may choose to accept a maximum of 30 credits of accredited
correspondence credit toward a degree, providing that it applies to a CCCB
degree and is accompanied by a transcript from an accredited college.
EXAMINATION CREDITS
Central accepts Advanced Placement (AP) scores of 3 or higher for college credit
in place of general studies courses.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) scores of 50 or higher may also be
accepted in place of required general studies courses. Each examination is worth
3 college credits. Exams can be scheduled online to be taken in the Learning
Center. Central’s test center number is 6145. CLEP Tests may also be taken on
campus by contacting the Associate Dean of Assessment. The student is
responsible for paying all costs associated with taking a CLEP test.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS
As a nationally accredited institution, Central has many bachelor’s degree
recipients who are accepted into graduate programs at universities and
seminaries. Seminaries often give preferred admissions and standing to students
from Bible Colleges. Recent graduates have been accepted into master’s
programs at Cincinnati Christian University, Dallas Theological Seminary, Emporia
State University, Fort Hays State University, Gordon-Conwell Theological
Seminary, Harding University, Hope International University, Indiana Wesleyan
University, Johnson University, Kentucky Christian University, Liberty University,
Lincoln Christian University, Midwestern Theological Seminary, Talbot School of
Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and Wheaton College.
WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE
A student who wishes to withdraw from Central at any point in the semester must
come to the Student Services Office and explain the situation to the Dean of Men
or Women. After that meeting, a student may begin the withdrawal process.
(See “Schedule Changes” earlier in this section.) The fee for the withdrawal will
be added to the amount due on the student’s account.
Students who are suspended or dismissed from Central must complete the
withdrawal process to avoid receiving F’s in all classes. They are not charged the
withdrawal fee. Students leaving after the Drop Deadline will receive a grade of
“F” unless they meet one of the exceptions for an approved withdrawal.
Students must do the following before classes can be officially dropped:
1. Meet with the Director of Student Services to initiate the process.
2. Conduct an exit interview with the Financial Aid Director.
3. Meet with the Chief Financial Officer to discuss the student’s account.
4. Meet with the Registrar to complete the class withdrawal process.
5. Check out with the Residence Hall Director (if applicable).
6. Return keys, student I.D., and library materials to the College.

Degree Programs
BACHELOR OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES
Candidates for the Bachelor of Religious Studies degrees already have earned
or plan to earn a substantial amount of college credit from another institution.
While at Central, almost all of a BRS student’s classes will be in Bible and ministry.
BRS students may also add a minor and/or certificate to their degree.
BRS – CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP
Contact: Professor Stuart Liegey (sbl@cccb.edu)
A student in the Bachelor of Religious Studies – Christian Leadership degree
must earn at least 60 credits from another institution and 68 credits in Bible and
ministry from Central. This degree is for students who desire to serve in paid or
volunteer ministry in a local church or parachurch organization. This degree is
available both onsite and online.
Qualifications
In order to enroll in a BRS – Christian Leadership degree program, a student must
meet the following qualifications:
1. Students must have attended at least two years of college at an accredited
institution besides Central.
2. Students must have earned at least 36 credits of approved general studies
courses at an accredited institution with a grade of C- or above.
3. Students must have earned at least 24 credits of approved open elective
courses at an accredited institution with a grade of C- or above.
Christian Leadership Apprenticeship (CLA)
BRS students may apply for an apprenticeship with the College during their final
semester of education. Students will not be paid for this service, but will have any
expenses incurred while completing this requirement covered by the College.
During the apprenticeship, the student will get an inside look at ministry through
involvement in the programming of the College. A CCCB professor or staff
member will be the student’s primary supervisor, although involvement may be in
a variety of areas. This apprenticeship will teach the student responsibility,
organization, and leadership skills. Not only does the College benefit from extra
labor in important areas of ministry, but the student benefits from personal
mentoring by an employee.
Students determine specific activities of responsibility, which may be chosen from
the following (with approval): SALT leader, student recruiter, tutoring, working at
on-campus events, teacher assistant, travelling to churches, targeted reading and
reports, community ministry leadership, and other duties at the College.
BRS students also may choose to complete a Field Education Experience
(SALT301). Online students fulfill their CLA requirements through a local church
or parachurch ministry with supervision by a leader in their region.

BRS – MISSIONAL OCCUPATIONS
Contact: Faith Axton (fma@cccb.edu)
2013-2015 Catalog Page | 53
Degree Programs
Students in the Bachelor of Religious StudieS – Missional Occupations
develop an approved major at another institution along with the Bible major at
Central. Central provides the missional focus through Bible/ministry courses to
accompany the occupational training received elsewhere. This option is available
for students who have already completed a career certificate elsewhere or plan to
utilize Dual Enrollment while at Central. Students receiving the BRS are
challenged to utilize a career for kingdom service.
Career training with partner institutions is available in the following careers:
Business – Information Technology, Management, Marketing, Accounting
Medical – Nursing, Health Services, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy
Education – Teacher Education, Early Childhood Education
Public Service – Criminal Justice, Political Science, Social Work, Law Enforcement
In order to prepare the student to transfer elsewhere (or utilize Dual Enrollment
at two institutions), the College must approve the course of study within the
student’s first year of enrollment at Central. While a student remains enrolled at
Central, the Full-Tuition Scholarship covers tuition costs at an approved partner
institution (see page 55).
Students who wish to complete the BRS – Missional Occupations degree can
combine it with their other studies by using one of three options:
Option 1 Students study at Central for three years and utilize 30 credits (one
year) of a career certificate in a professional vocation from another
college. The credits may either be taken elsewhere before enrolling at
Central, or taken Dual Enrollment with Moberly Area Community
College (MACC). Completing the BRS requirements takes three more
years if the vocational certificate is already completed, or four years
total for a Dual Enrollment student. (Students may also meet this
requirement by combining a specialized certificate of 16-19 credits
from MACC with a CCCB ministry minor of 15 credits.)
Option 2 Students study at Central for two years and utilize up to 67 credits of
an associate degree in a professional vocation from another college.
The credits may either be taken elsewhere before enrolling at Central,
or through Dual Enrollment with MACC. Completing the BRS
requirements takes two more years if the vocational associate degree
is already completed, or four years total for a Dual Enrollment student.
Option 3 Students may enroll at Central and utilize up to 67 credits of a
bachelor’s degree from another college. Completing the BRS
requirements takes approximately five years at the two institutions.
Students normally enroll at Central for 5 semesters full-time before
beginning studies at the partner institution.

Notes:
Transfer students with approximately 30 hours transferred take all YEAR THREE courses in
their final year at Central. Those transferring an associate degree will have YEAR THREE
courses shifted into the first two years if not already taken in their associate degree.
Dual Enrollment students register for YEAR THREE courses as advised by CCCB & MACC:
1. Take CCCB courses in their third year and MACC courses in their fourth year OR
2. Take courses simultaneously at CCCB and MACC during their third and fourth years.
PARTNER INSTITUTIONS
Students who desire education beyond the ministry training offered at Central
have options available through different regionally accredited colleges and
universities with whom Central has agreements. Information about these and
other schools can be found online at cccb.edu/partners. Each school’s
accreditation is included in parentheses.

DUAL ENROLLMENT OPTIONS
Students may remain enrolled at Central while simultaneously studying for a
career in another field. The Full-Tuition Scholarship is in effect while the student
remains enrolled in a BRS degree. The following fees for Dual Enrollment apply:
1. Students pursuing a career certificate at a partner institution pay Central a
Certificate Enrollment Fee to begin.
2. Students pursuing a degree at a partner institution pay Central a Dual
Enrollment Fee of $100 per credit taken outside of Central.
Moberly Area Community College (NCA-HLC)
Students who plan to pursue a career certificate or associate degree at Moberly
Area Community College (MACC) must make separate application there. A
certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree fulfills the career requirement
for the BRS degree at Central. A specialized certificate fulfills the professional
requirement of the APS degree at Central. Students pursuing a BS or BA from
Central may add a specialized certificate to their studies after completing four
semesters at CCCB.
Fort Hays State University (NCA-HLC)
Online bachelor’s degrees in information technology, teacher education,
management, and more are available from Fort Hays State Virtual College. This
provides many options for Central’s BRS students to remain in Moberly and dualenroll
with FHSU after completing four semesters at CCCB.
TRANSFER OPTIONS
For students who do not want to dual-enroll, many transfer options allow a CCCB
student to complete two bachelor’s degrees in 5 years while following the BRS –
Missional Occupations course of study. The Full-Tuition Scholarship does not
apply while students are attending other institutions.
HONORS PROGRAM
Contact: Dr. Paul Axton (pva@cccb.edu)
The Honors Program at Central provides a scholarly experience for bachelor’s
degree students of high academic aptitude to pursue rigorous and in-depth
studies, personal research interests, and collegial relationships with professors
and students. Honors Program students participate in shared experiences such
as field trips, colloquia, and joint housing. Qualified students take alternative
sections of philosophy and theology classes, enroll in a specialized seminar, and
write an independent research project they present to the campus community.
Freshmen may qualify based on their high school grades and recommendations.
Sophomores may also qualify after a strong first year performance at Central.
Honors students receive financial benefits and opportunities to serve as paid or
volunteer student tutors and professor assistants. More information about
coursework, requirements, and qualifications can be found at cccb.edu/honors.

Ministry
Majors
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (page 48) or Bachelor of Science (page 49)
degree receive a double major in Bible and one of the ministry majors listed in
this section. The Bachelor of Arts degree also requires students to complete at
least 15 credits of Biblical languages, giving an opportunity to study Scripture in
the original texts. Most Bachelor of Arts students take either four Greek courses
and one Hebrew course or three Greek courses and two Hebrew courses. Biblical
Research students take four Greek courses and three Hebrew courses.
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
Christian Discipleship (PCM100) and Principles of Evangelism (PCM222) provide
direction in the common goals of all ministry students: personal spiritual growth
and the ability to evangelize and disciple others. Other requirements for ministry
majors are listed below and found in bold type within the course of study.
• Service and Leadership Training Courses (8 credits): Serving in Community
(SALT101), Biblical Leadership (SALT102), Leadership Ministries (SALT201-
208), SALT Elective (SALT211-219), Vocational Preparation (SALT300), Field
Experience (SALT301) and Personal Assessment (SALT375). These courses
expose students to a variety of principles and practical experiences that are
preparatory to full-time ministry. Leadership Ministries (SALT201-208)
exposes students to service opportunities in their areas of ministry study
through interaction with practitioners, knowledge of pioneers in the field,
awareness of personal gifts, and planning their course of study.
• Program Ministry Courses (21 credits): Seven courses are detailed for each
ministry major. These required courses start with a “Foundations” course
(usually taken during the second semester of the second year) and specific
ministry courses in theory, methods, administration, and leadership.
• Designated Courses (9 credits): Three courses within the Biblical and general
studies requirements are considered part of the major requirements.
Students who change ministry majors are required to take the appropriate
designated courses for their new major, even if they had already completed
an equivalent general studies course in their original major.
Both the Leadership Ministries and the proper Program Foundations course must
be passed in order to continue pursuing a ministry major. Students who do not
pass those courses may be redirected into a different degree or major.
Many of the ministry majors in this section can be taken as a ministry minor with
15 credits of study. In addition to the Bible major and the ministry major, BS and
BA students may add one ministry minor (see pages 79-82 for details.)

BIBLICAL RESEARCH
Contact: Professor Chad Summa (csumma@cccb.edu)
Career Opportunities
The program is designed to qualify graduates for further theological studies at

Program Goals
The Biblical Research major can be developed only within the Bachelor of Arts
degree. In addition to the BA degree goals (page 41), students in the Biblical
Research program will be able to do the following:
1. Translate selections of the Bible from the original languages into English
using the basic rules of grammar and syntax.
2. Generate an exegetical paper using the original Biblical languages, Bible
study tools, scholarly research, sound principles of interpretation, and
collaboration.
3. Apply language and research skills to lessons and sermons.

CHRISTIAN COUNSELING
Contact: Professor Tammy Christensen (tchristensen@cccb.edu)
Career Opportunities
Students who graduate with a Christian Counseling major are qualified to do
personal religious counseling as part of their own ministries. Graduates are
sometimes employed to do spiritual counseling within a church. They can be
employed as a camp counselor or in certain social work positions. A graduate is

Ministry Majors
FIELD EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Field education for ministry majors is fulfilled by completing the following two
components:
SALT 300: VOCATIONAL PREPARATION (1 CREDIT)
Students must complete SALT 300 before participating in a Field Experience. This
course prepares the student to find and benefit from a Field Experience.
Students will not receive credit for any Field Experience occurring prior to
successful completion of SALT 300. Transfer students must attend Central at
least one semester before enrolling in SALT 301.
SALT 301: FIELD EXPERIENCE (3 CREDITS)
Students are required to serve a minimum of 300 hours and 10 weeks in their
Field Experience. The hours may be spread over a summer (30 hours per week
for 10 weeks), a semester (20 hours per week for 15 weeks), or a school year (10
hours per week for 30 weeks). With approval of the Field Education Director, the
student’s advisor, and the Vice President of Academics, this requirement may be
met by independent study, additional coursework in the ministry emphasis, or
qualified, significant personal ministry experience.
In order to earn credit, the student must comply with the standards and
procedures presented in the SALT 300 class. Students are responsible for living
expenses associated with the time they spend completing their Field Experience.
If taken during a semester, students may maintain full-time enrollment status
through independent studies, distance education, or community college courses
to transfer back to Central. Credit for Field Experience is given the semester
during or after it is finished.

Ministry
Minors
Students wishing to prepare for church leadership positions that require multiple
areas of responsibility may use a ministry minor to supplement the training of
their degree program. Minors also allow students to receive credit from
extended internships at churches or organizations that meet established criteria.
Ministry minors are subject to the following policies.
1. One minor may be added to a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science
degree with the requirement of 15 additional credits.
2. One minor may be added to a Bachelor of Religious Studies degree with the
requirement of at least 6 additional credits.
3. A minor may be added after the student has reached 60 credits of progress
towards a bachelor’s degree.
4. A student must maintain a 2.0 Cumulative GPA in order to continue
participating in a ministry minor.

COMMUNICATION MINOR
In conjunction with American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence
(abcte.org), students may prepare for teacher licensure in the area of

82 | P age Central Christian College of the Bible
Ministry Minors
SPECIALIZED MINORS (YEARLONG INTERNSHIPS)
Many churches and organizations conduct creative ministries beyond the scope
of a college curriculum. To recognize the valuable training available from these
ministry experts, Central gives credit for extended learning experiences in that
context and awards a specialized ministry minor. This happens when students
experience a yearlong internship under the following conditions:
1. The internship must have a minimum of 1500 hours of work and ten months.
2. The student must have at least three supervisors, one with a master’s degree.
3. The student must read a minimum of 1500 pages and complete PCM390.
4. The internship must be approved by the Director of Ministry Development.
During the yearlong internship, students are able to earn up to 27 credits and
maintain full-time enrollment. This experience can be used to meet certain
requirements of the degree program as well as the specialized minor.
The title of the specialized minor will be decided by the site supervisor and
Director of Ministry Development. Sample minors include Strategic Ministry,
Urban Ministry, Campus Ministry, Media Ministry, Benevolent Ministry, etc. A
specialized minor will contain specific competencies and goals for the student’s
learning experience. The student will develop a list of projects and estimated
hours of preparation and implementation in order to document the learning that
has contributed towards the specialized minor.
Students deciding to use a yearlong internship to achieve a specialized minor
may also take up to three online courses during the year that are required for
their degree. They also receive one hour of SALT credit as part of the experience.
The online and SALT courses apply to the student’s bachelor’s degree.
The yearlong internship can also fulfill either the Christian Leadership
Apprenticeship in the BRS – Christian Leadership degree or the Field Education
Experience in a BS or BA degree with approval of the student’s academic advisor.
In that case, the specialized minor is completed by taking an additional ministry
elective that is relevant to the minor.

Teacher Excellence is approved. Current states approved include Arizona, Florida,
Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. Those who have been graduated or will
soon be graduated from Central with a bachelor’s degree are eligible for the TPC.
American Board provides preparation for teaching in the following areas:
Biology, Chemistry, English Language Arts, General Science, History, Math, and
Physics. Different states accept various subjects provided by American Board (see
abcte.org). Each state requires a minimum cumulative GPA in the bachelor’s
degree and satisfactory completion of the American Board material for licensure.
Central utilizes the American Board training and testing as a portion of the

TESOL CERTIFICATE
Contact: Faith Axton (fma@cccb.edu)
The TESOL certificate provides students with theoretical and practical knowledge
for teaching English to non-native speakers of English. Successful completion of
the certificate in conjunction with a baccalaureate degree will give students the
tools they need to teach English while serving on a foreign mission field. Potential
service to the church may also include outreach to immigrants, teaching English
as an evangelistic tool, or teaching in a language school.
Because foreign countries require TESOL instructors to have a college degree, the
TESOL certificate can only be added to a bachelor’s degree from Central or
another college. The 52-credit curriculum includes all of the requirements of the
Certificate of Biblical Knowledge as well as seven additional courses in language
and teaching.
TESOL Certificate Goals
In addition to the goals of the CBK, TESOL students will be able to:
1. Prepare and teach lessons using materials appropriate for a variety of age
groups.
2. Understand the structural elements of the English language with an emphasis
on how to assist others in second language acquisition.
3. Discover resources and strategies for systematically presenting English
instruction to non-native speakers.
4. Experience instruction with non-native speakers to learn about the unique
challenges these opportunities bring.
5. Experience foreign language study to gain appreciation for the task of
language instruction and learning.
6. Practice communicating Biblical truths in cross-cultural contexts using sound
principles and multiple methods.

Course
Descriptions
The curriculum at Central Christian College of the Bible revolves around three
divisions of study: Biblical Studies, General Studies, and Professional Studies.
Each division contributes to the student’s distinctively Christian worldview,
through which they may understand the world and minister to it. The College
expects each student to gain foundational knowledge, analytical thinking, and
cultural/social understanding in preparation for application of knowledge,
effective communication, and ethical decision-making in a context of servant
leadership.
CREDIT HOUR DEFINITION
A credit hour is defined as an amount of work that includes one contact hour of
direct faculty instruction and two hours of out-of-classroom student work each
week for approximately 15 weeks. Thus, a one-credit class requires approximately
45 clock-hours throughout the semester of lecture, recitation, discussion,
seminar, or colloquium, or other classroom work, plus assignments and other
activities outside the classroom. Course formats other than weekly are described
in the Academic Policies section under Alternative Educational Formats.
THE NUMBERING SYSTEM
In the course numbering system, the first letter indicates the each course’s
division (Biblical, General, Professional). The next two letters indicate subdivision
(e.g. NT for “New Testament”). The three numbers indicate the level of the
course: 100’s are freshman-level; 200’s are sophomore-level, and 300’s are
upper-level. (For example, BOT101 is in the Biblical Studies division, Old
Testament subdivision, and is freshman level.) Typical course scheduling is
indicated at the conclusion of the course description.
OFFERED MOST ODD FALL SEMESTERS = Fall 2013, Fall 2015, etc.
OFFERED MOST EVEN SPRING SEMESTERS = Spring 2014, Spring 2016, etc.
OFFERED MOST SPRING SEMESTERS = Spring 2015, Spring 2016, etc.
OFFERED EVERY SEMESTER = Fall 2013, Spring 2014, Fall 2014, etc.
OFFERED OCCASIONALLY = as curricular needs and teacher availability allow.
ONLINE COURSES
Online courses taught by Central teachers are equivalent to the onsite courses
and have the same course description. Online versions of Central courses are
scheduled as needed to support the online certificate, associate degree, and
bachelor’s degree. Students pursuing a traditional program on campus may use

DIVISION OF BIBLICAL STUDIES
Biblical Studies Coordinator: Dr. Eric Stevens (estevens@cccb.edu)
The largest and most important area of study at Central is the Bible. Every
degree program contains a major in Biblical studies. Since the Bible is the allsufficient
rule of faith and practice of the church, it is the basic text of study at
Central. The message of the Bible must be clearly understood in order for the
church to govern itself properly, to develop a proper theology, and to establish a
Biblical, ethical system. The principles for shaping and guiding the lives of others
in every aspect of life are drawn from this same unchangeable Word of God.
Requirements in Biblical studies include courses in Old Testament, New
Testament, and Theology.
PURPOSE STATEMENT:
Biblical division courses equip students with tools and training for accurately
handling the Word of God.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Central Christian College of the Bible began officially as a college with the initial
convocation service on September 3, 1957. The first classes began the next day.
The roots of the College, however, predated that night and include the history of
two other institutions.
A home for girls from broken homes, the Christian Life Center, was established in
Bellflower, Missouri, in 1950. Although it only lasted for two years, its charter
called for educating young people. When it closed in 1952, the assets were
transferred to a new institution named the Christian Life Center Bible College.
The Bible College was established in Chillicothe, Missouri, and soon changed its
name to Chillicothe Bible College. However, it also closed in December 1956.
Interested churchmen met with a group of ministers in Chillicothe in December
1956 to discuss the need for a Bible college. This group of about fifty men
decided there was a great need in the area for a loyal Bible college to train young
people for the great task of preaching and teaching the Gospel.
A steering committee of five men was selected to study the issue thoroughly and
present their findings at a meeting in February 1957. They were to determine if
there was a need for a college and the best location for the college if one was to
be established.
At the February meeting, Moberly, Missouri, was selected as the city to house the
new Bible college. At this time a board of directors, consisting of twelve men,
was chosen to plan the establishment of the new college. A three-story parochial
school building was purchased to serve as the first unit of the college. John W.
Hall, a minister in Vandalia, Missouri, was selected to become President pro tem
and charged with the task of setting the College in order. O. S. Lincoln, Chairman
of the Board, stated the purpose of the College would be “to recruit and train
leadership for the church at large according to the New Testament teaching.” A
Certificate of Incorporation was issued by the state of Missouri on March 11, 1957
to Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, Missouri, “for a term of
perpetual years.”
At this time in north central Missouri, the Christian churches were extremely
weak. Many churches did not have full-time ministers and several churches
actually shared ministers, and were thus forced to meet only once per month. As
was true of most Bible colleges, Central began with few students and few
resources for support, but with a great desire to meet the needs of the churches
and advance the Kingdom of God on earth.

CCCB has been served by a succession of presidents, each of whom contributed
his own strengths to the development and growth of the college. John W. Hall
served as President for two years. He selected the first Faculty of five men, two of
whom are still teaching for the College: Lloyd M. Pelfrey and Gareth Reese.
Grayson H. Ensign served as President from 1959 – 1966. Having taught in a
Bible college previously, he was familiar with the ways a college should be
governed. He made improvements in administrative and bookkeeping
procedures that moved the College more toward a collegiate model. In addition,
he was able to eliminate the first mortgage as well as purchase other property in
town to provide room for expansion.
Walter L. “Jack” Spratt served as President from 1966 – 1972. During his tenure
the College purchased forty acres on the south side of Moberly and relocated.
Several buildings were erected over the next few years, including a Cafetorium (a
combination of cafeteria, library, and assembly area), and girls’ and men’s dorms.
Classes were held on the first floor of the dorms.
Lloyd M. Pelfrey, one of the original professors, became President in 1972 and
served until 1998. His early focus was on raising funds to eliminate the building
debts the College had incurred during the relocation. Having accomplished this
goal, the College then completed construction in 1980 of what was then called
Memorial Hall (later renamed Pelfrey Hall), a building that housed administrative
and academic offices, staff and support offices, classrooms, kitchen and cafeteria,
and gymnasium. Under President Pelfrey, the College received initial
accreditation in 1982 with the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges (now, The
Association for Biblical Higher Education), with reaffirmations in 1987 & 1992.
After President Pelfrey resigned the presidency to become Chancellor and Old
Testament Professor, the College was served by several acting-presidents. In
2000 Dr. Russell N. James was named the President of the College. Dr. James had
served the College as a dorm parent, academic dean, and estate planner. Under
his presidency, the College transitioned to a full-tuition scholarship model. This
contributed to a period of rapid growth culminating in the highest enrollment in
the history of the institution. His tenure led to an expansion of the facilities and
included reaffirmation of the College’s accreditation with ABHE in 2003. He
served as President until his resignation in August 2005.
During the 2005-06 school year, Chancellor Pelfrey served as interim President
and the College facilities expanded in classrooms, offices, and cafeteria space. Dr.
Ronald L. Oakes was named President and began serving officially on July 1,
2006, after teaching at Central for the previous two years. During his presidency,
the College has constructed the Walton Student Center, remodeled the residence
halls, and pursued and received candidacy for regional accreditation. The College
also was approved to offer online education and was reaffirmed in its
accreditation with ABHE in 2013. Dr. Oakes is currently serving in the eighth year
of his presidency.

THEOLOGICAL AFFIRMATIONS
The Faculty of Central Christian College of the Bible all ascribe to the following
theological affirmations. Students are expected to be able to explain the
College’s positions on these topics while coming to their own Biblical
conclusions.
1. The one God (Yahweh) exists eternally in the three persons of Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
2. Scripture is inspired, wholly without error in the original manuscripts, and the
sole authority for the Christian’s faith and practice (1 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter
1:19-21; John 10:35, 17:17; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13).
3. All that exists was created by God; He made humanity in His own image
(Genesis 1:1-27; Matthew 19:4).
4. Adam and Eve’s disobedience introduced sin and death to all mankind, who
fall short of God’s glory because of their own sin (Genesis 3:1-19; Romans
3:23; 5:12-14).
5. Jesus Christ, God incarnate, was born of a virgin, tempted but without sin,
fully human and fully divine (Philippians 2:5-11; John 1:1-15; Isaiah 7:14; Luke
1:26-35; Heb 4:15).
6. The atoning death of Christ on the cross and His bodily resurrection from the
grave demonstrate God’s love and provide forgiveness and eternal life
(Romans 5:6-11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-11).
7. By God’s grace, salvation is available to all people, through personal faith in
Christ, at the immersion of a penitent believer (Romans 3:21-25, 6:1-14;
Galatians 3:26-29; Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 2:38).
8. The Holy Spirit inspired the authors of Scripture and miraculously
empowered apostles and prophets to be the foundation of the church.
Today, the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, and
indwells them for comfort, sanctification, and Kingdom service (2 Peter 1:19-
21; John 3:5-8; 16:8-11; Titus 3:5-7; Galatians 5:16-25; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7;
Ephesians 2:20).
9. The bodily return of Christ will bring the resurrection of the dead and the
final judgment of the righteous to eternal life and the wicked to everlasting
destruction (Matthew 24:29-51; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58; 2 Thessalonians 1:9;
Revelation 20:7-15).
10. Christ has called the church to be holy, to carry out His Great Commission,
and to build up all Christians. Each local congregation should be
autonomous and unified, following the model of the New Testament church
in government and practice (Matthew 16:18, 19, 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:16ff.).
The College also ascribes to the Tenets of Faith shared by all members of the
Association for Biblical Higher Education (abhe.org).
