Why FLBC
Your first steps after high school set the trajectory for everything that follows. At FLBC, you’ll discover who you are in Christ, form a biblical worldview, and build a foundation that will guide every decision for decades to come.
Who You Are > What You Do
Making decisions about the future can be exciting—and overwhelming. The pressure to “get it right” often leads us to define ourselves by what we do: our major, our career, and our accomplishments.
But life isn’t about climbing ladders or chasing trends. At FLBC, you’ll take two years to focus on Christ and His Word, forming a biblical worldview that gives you clarity and confidence no matter what comes next.

Formation > Information
The first years after high school are incredibly formative—a time when values, beliefs, and identity either solidify or drift. The time spent at FLBC is a chance to discover who you are in Christ, form a biblical worldview, and build a foundation for a lifetime.

Bible & Ministry Diploma
Since its founding, FLBC has always offered a two-year Bible & Ministry diploma. Any student who has completed our two-year program but does not otherwise meet the State of Minnesota requirements for the AA, graduates at the diploma level. Essentially, the diploma is our AA program minus the math/logic credits.
Worth More Than You Pay
At FLBC, generous donors cover one-third of the actual cost of your education before you even enroll. That means you receive two years of immersive discipleship, tuition, room, and board for far less than most private colleges.
