Our History

Since 2005 West Saint Mark Bible College and Seminary has a rich history of academic excellence, theological training, and spiritual leadership. Our journey began with a vision to provide a Christ-centered education and continues to inspire students worldwide.

Our Founding Vision

West Saint Mark Bible College and Seminary was founded with the goal of equipping men and women to live godly lives, serve in positions in church administrations, and various aspects of ministry and leadership. Our vision has always been to provide students with the necessary theological education to engage the world with a Christ-centered approach, rooted in biblical truth.

Accreditation and Achievements

We feel that in order for us to fulfill the calling of God upon the Disciples of Christ to teach sound doctrine, and in order to keep the price of tuition as low as possible for our students preparing themselves for ministry, the pursuit of accreditation is not a worthy pursuit at this time. Degrees and courses offered at WSMBCS have been declared by the appropriate state authority exempt  from the requirements for licensure, under provisions of North Carolina General Statutes Section (G.S.) 116-15(d) for exemption from licensure with respect to religious education. Exemption from licensure is not based upon assessment of program quality under established licensing standards.

If you must have an accredited degree, it is recommended that you refer to the databases of either or both the US Dept. of Education (USDE): http://op.ed.gov/accreditation and/or Council for Higher Education (CHEA): http://chea.org/search.
