CBS Leadership
God has graciously provided the College of Biblical Studies with deeply faithful Christian leaders who have a common desire to deliver exceptional, transformational education. These leaders possess a superior blend of skills and talents that uniquely position CBS as a leader in launching thousands of knowledgeable students who have a deeper relationship with Christ, a fuller understanding of the Bible, and who bring a biblical worldview to bear on some of the world’s toughest challenges.
We are committed to our mission of glorifying God by educating and equipping multi-ethnic students to impact the world for Christ. As a faith-based learning community, we seek to develop servant-leaders and respectful citizens who want to make a positive difference.
