Tri-State Bible College is a non-denominational, independent, and coeducational institution of higher education, in the traditional Bible college/Bible institute mode. The college exists to train men and women for church-related ministries and/or vocational callings. Providing additional training for those interested in lay ministry is likewise a major component of TSBC programs. Seeking to be faithful to the ideals of this heritage, Tri-State Bible College is committed in all of its policies and practices to the unrestricted and rigorous pursuit of truth, to the certainty of values of human life, and to a respect for differing points of view.
