The staff at EBC including the Campus Pastor and Director
of Student Life actively work to make sure that each student
enters a discipleship relationship their first semester at
EBC. We realize that the transition is a hard one for
many students and we know the importance of having someone
that they can talk to and who can point them to Scripture. All
students, new and returning, have the opportunity to be in
a Discipleship Lab with a member of the faculty or staff, but
beyond that many of our students seek out individual discipleship
relationships with leaders in different churches and faculty
and staff at EBC. We desire that each student does not
just attain knowledge during their time here at EBC, but applies
it to every part of his or her life.
Eternity Bible College is not affiliated with any denomination. We
are a ministry of Cornerstone Church, which is nondenominational.

All of our faculty are involved in local church ministries.
They all have Master’s degrees or higher in different fields
of theology, biblical studies, or biblical counseling. They
are handpicked by the Academic Dean and President as men who
are knowledgeable about the Bible as well as pastoral in nature. Our
faculty are available to students and are excited to see students
grow and mature in their Christian walk.
EBC is not currently accredited, but we are actively pursuing
accreditation through the Association for Biblical Higher Education. For
more information about accreditation, click

Tuition is $100 per unit, and there is also a Student Life fee
of $100 per semester. So if a student took 16 units for
one semester, he or she would owe $1,700 total. For more
information on tuition and fees click
here.
For the Fall semester full payment is due ten days before the
first day of classes. For the Spring semester full payment
is due three days before the first day of classes.
Students are responsible for finding their own housing. All
of our students either live at home, rent a room, or live in
an apartment. Our student life department works hard to
connect students with other students who need housing or roommates. Cornerstone
Church also has classified ads on their website (click
"ministries" then "classifieds") which include
housing possibilities. Every semester that EBC has been
in existence, housing has worked out perfectly down to the student. On
average, students pay between $400 to $600 a month for rent.
Though finding a job is rarely fun and requires a certain amount
of diligence, there are plenty of jobs in and near Simi Valley. We
have a lot of coffee shops and retail stores that hire frequently. In
our experience, if a student genuinely wants to have a job, they
will have no trouble finding one.
Student Life at EBC is a lot of fun. We have a variety
of planned activities that the students can take part in, as
well as many random activities that the students throw together
at the last minute which provide a great sense of community. Students
at EBC generally do a great job of forming and maintaining a
sense of community. Many students live in local apartments
and serve alongside one another in ministries of the church. Through
involvement in EBC and serving in a local church, your student
should have no problem being a vital part of a strong community.
A challenge. You can expect your student to be learning things
that will challenge their worldview and teach them to see the
world with God at the center. Your student will grow both
academically as well as personally. Your student will be
challenged in his or her devotion to God and service of Him in
the world. Our hope is that your student grows into a mature
Christian who understands the big picture of who God is and what
He is doing in the world. |
