2021-2022 Tuition and Fee Rates
While college costs have skyrocketed across the U.S., our aim is to keep CCBC affordable and accessible to students. Our philosophy is to train up men and women in God’s word and see them complete their Bible College program free from any school debt, ready to serve and represent Jesus Christ wherever His Spirit calls them.
Calvary Chapel Bible College does not currently participate in government-funded financial aid programs or guaranteed student loans. Since CCBC is currently pursuing accreditation, the Bible College may be eligible to participate in these programs in the future. However, our commitment to providing affordable biblical higher education will remain one of core values. Information about Payment Plans can be found below.
CCBC does not currently have an OPE ID number.

Additionally, you may be eligible for a Calvary Chapel Pastor & Missionary Scholarship if you or your parent is a full-time pastor, ministry leader, or missionary in a Calvary Chapel ministry.
