Letter from the Director

Greetings and welcome to Generation Bible College. It is our firm belief that discipleship is for everybody, not just a select group of Christians. It is also our belief that a solid understanding of God's Word, as revealed to us in the Bible, is essential to effective discipleship and Christian living.

Because of this we exist to provide a place where people from all walks of life can come and gain a deeper understanding of the riches and depth of the Scriptures. We aim to accomplish this from a curriculum of classes that is designed to aid one in intellectual and spiritual growth, with a conviction that the two are never to be separated but rather are complimentary of one another.



While Bible Colleges are a great tool for training leaders of the next generation, they also provide a wonderful opportunity for anyone who wants to simply study God's Word and grow in their understanding of God and His Word. We are all called to know God's Word and to live in accordance to it and thus be a witness to a lost and hopeless world. Therefore, we aim to not only train those who feel called to vocational ministry, but to help any and all lay a solid foundation of Biblical knowledge.  

One of the key features of Generation Bible College is that it is a ministry of Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara. Because of this, one has the opportunity to receive training in the context of the local church for we believe that the best place for discipleship at every level is the local church.



So if you feel called to prepare for vocational ministry or just want to grow in your walk and understanding of the Bible, then Generation Bible College is designed with you in mind.



Abundant blessings in Christ,


Keith Fortenberry
