Huntsville Bible College

Our goal has been to equip God’s people for over 30 years.

Huntsville Bible College (HBC) is a post secondary biblical institution that believes it is important to balance the responsibilities of family, church and work to meet the needs of each individual in a personal way. HBC, formerly Huntsville Baptist Institute, was established in 1986 as a 501 (c) (3) institution of higher education to prepare individuals to become preachers and church leaders by assisting local churches to carry out their mission. To meet the future needs of the students and the community, HBC has expanded its program offerings to multiple fields of study.

HBC is a non-traditional institution that offers daytime and evening classes for the adult learner on campus, on-line, and on Saturdays in a small setting. The College is licensed by the Alabama State Department of Post secondary Education as a Private Institution and is accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education, to award certificates and Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Ministry degrees, and Doctorate of Ministry

Huntsville Bible College has a diverse faculty population by gender, ethnicity, and faith. The College is nestled quietly in the center of Huntsville approximately two miles north of the Madison County Courthouse on Oakwood Avenue across from the Huntsville Emergency Medical Services.

Statement of Faith

We at Huntsville Bible College believe and teach these biblical-theological truths

  • There is only one God and the Trinity of the Godhead is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

  • The Scripture of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, and the only rule of faith and practice.

  • Man is born with a sinful nature and is inclined to be evil by choice, and cannot, spare himself, or save himself.

  • God so Loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever shall confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, shall be saved.

  • Believers are to be guided by the Holy Spirit through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Faith is the Gift of God and good works, the fruit of faith.

  • God’s plan is for marriage to be between a man and a woman.
  • Those born again are justified in the sight of God alone by the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to them by faith.

  • God’s plan for the present day disciple is to go and make disciples of all nations through the witness of every believer and to teach them to obey His commandments.
