Description

The mission of Hobe Sound Bible College is to provide a Christ-centered, Bible-based education in the Wesleyan tradition. We are committed to preparing servant-leaders who think Biblically, live Spirit-filled lives, fulfill the great commission and glorify God in all they do.

Hobe Sound Bible College, which is committed to an unswerving loyalty to God and His Word and to the principles and standards embodied in Bible holiness, has purposed to incorporate the following factors into a progressive educational experience.

While we are especially interested in preparing laborers for the whitened harvest fields, our primary purpose is not merely to train for service in the specialized sense of the word, but rather to lay a foundation for Christian living irrespective of one’s vocation. Since being is more essential than doing, the primary aim is to build solid, intelligent Christian character. To this is added the development of mental knowledge and physical skills essential to render greatest possible service to God and to man. The life of Christian dedication, discipline and unselfish service is our chief objective.

The educational offerings of the college include bachelor degree programs in ministerial education, missions, Christian teacher education, Christian music education, general Christian studies; associate degree programs in Bible, pre-professional studies, missions, secretarial science; and certificate programs. The addition of the External Studies Department has made it possible to obtain both an associate and bachelor degree through correspondence. The institution of the ANTIOCH program in 1998 was another step toward a multicultural orientation.

Hobe Sound Bible College is located on the Atlantic Coast of South Florida, in the town of Hobe Sound. The campus is secure and safe, yet located close to essential commercial services. Hobe Sound is 25 miles north of West Palm Beach on U.S. Highway 1, and 12 miles south of Stuart. Major airlines with planes landing at Palm Beach International Airport make the school readily accessible by air. Bus and train connections are also handy. The campus is bounded by the Indian River on the east, and is approximately one mile from the Atlantic Ocean.
