It's a decent school, but to be honest, the degree is useless unless you are a preacher and even then, you need more schooling to be a good one. I have a lot of student debt I am now paying for a useless degree but the experience was priceless. I met my best friends and my husband there.

Let me make this very clear, BEFORE you attend this college, you should take the time to thoroughly read this review for detailed information that may effect the rest of your life should you attempt to attend. Back in August 2014, I had posted an initial review regarding the issues found at Central Christian College of the Bible. For me personally, when I originally enrolled, there were many things I was promised including a hassle-free enrollment. The name of the gentleman that helped me has slipped my mind but he was over the online program before Aaron Merritt had taken over. He skipped over the money-racketing stuff that they try to use on new students including "online orientation" and "application fees" of which neither are really required (if you can navigate their system in the "online orientation" then you can navigate the system for other classes...but to put it VERY BLUNTLY-it is a way for them to make some easy cash). Once I was enrolled and actively pursuing my Associates Degree, I found out that the college did not notify the Student Loan people that I was active. Because of this, my credit report was hit very hard. I went thru a very tedious drawn out process to get it taken care of and CCCB offered NO help whatsoever. On this "journey" with this Reformed Christian College, I found that some of the professors have significant amounts of disdain for Full Gospel/Pentecostal folks. While I would keep 90-100 percents in certain classes, another class I would be taking at the same time would be sitting in the upper 70s thru the mid 80s. The work across the board was generally excellent quality, but when I would find myself with an "instructor" that was hard nosed about Pentecostals, I watched several assignments take very hard hits. For example, the gentleman who is now their "Academic Dean" 'taught' the ACTS class. Throughout this course I was made aware that Pentecostals are emotionally unstable, unlearned, and many have mental problems (yes, I have the required texts still with very harsh language contained therein). It was at this point I made my beliefs known and I objected to the improper labeling that was harsh, judgmental, and religious bigotry. From that point forward, the grades took significant hits. As a matter of a fact, I had to do what was called a "TONGUES PROJECT" which was an EXCELLENT paper. The grade on this very significant assignment was a B with no explanation given! I asked Eric Stevens for feedback or at least a numeric rubric for the grade and never received a response. This is important to make mention of because Eric Stevens plays a significant role here in just a moment. Once I finished up my classes at CCCB, I was hit with fees, charges, etc that I had to pay out of pocket that I didn't know about so I could graduate. Once I graduated, my diploma was supposedly in the mail, yet it was several months later before it was received (I do have email correspondance relative to this claim as well). I was also assured I would continue to have access to my past courses, all of the materials, etc (I have the email from Dr. Lloyd and I think others as well related to this matter)... Yet this was UNTRUE. So the access, the material, the work, etc that I PAID FOR is all gone. The original post I made on here was met with a sloppy, hypocritical message that told me they would attempt to make things right and try to collect my work and send it to me. STILL WAITING and it has been a YEAR and a half! MEANWHILE, what they did was, they "blocked me" from the CCCB page, in hopes that I would not be able to EXPOSE their shady practices!! what they didn't know was, I didn't "delete" my original post. I marked it private so I could always edit it IF they didn't keep their word! I had come to expect them to do something like this, and they did!!! So, to sum up what was done to me personally: I was lied to, my credit was damaged, I was discriminated against, my college grades were permantly hurt, I felt like I was robbed from, and I had to resist deception and manipulation which has put a TERRIBLE taste in my mouth for this college! Maybe others reading this won't have all of these terrible experiences, but let me share with you the experiences (in general) of others...... Please pay very close attention to this: Though I had a very bad experience with a couple of professors, the online coursework wasn't too bad at all and most would work with you in ministry and let you turn things in later if you corresponded with them, so I continued to refer people to this college. I sent a total of 8 people to their college. 1 of the 8 graduated about a year after I did. 3 dropped out for various reasons (some of which were relative to the experiences I had). 1 dropped out to go to another college but was willing to return this semester in hopes that they finally have their stuff together. 1 never could get enrolled (they really do drag their feet at this college). And that leaves the last 1 who has tried multiple times to enroll and actively engage in his academics at CCCB. This last person is the one who had the experience everyone needs to know about. This young man contacted this college back in the Summer of 2014 in regards to their acedemic offerings. Through his correspondence, he was told that they would love for him to enroll and become a student at Central Christian. Once he enrolled, they had given him a checklist of things to do in order to be fulltime that Fall. HE completed all of the tasks necessary for enrollment and fulltime active status. When it was time for class registration, he was told he could not go fulltime but he had to do the Online Orientation instead. This became a fight from start to finish. He offered to go through and compelte the orientation quickly if he needed to but he wanted to be fulltime since he was PROMISED he could be fulltime if accepted since he was very familiar with online-based applications, programs, etc. Well, he did just that and they refused to allow him fulltime status so he told them (just a few days into the orientation) that if they were going to continue to hassle and be dishonest about things, to just take him out of the orientation AND he would go to HOBE so he could be FULLTIME. Of course, phone calls are NEVER EVER EVER returned (even when they PROMISE to call you back!) They end up sending him bills for the orientation and was very shady about charging him (by standards, he was just 2 or 3 days into it, so by rights, he should have been removed especially since they didn't give him what they had promised anyways). Well, almost a YEAR AND A HALF WENT BY.... And the one gentleman that left CCCB decided to give them another shot... To my knowledge, as of right now, he is enrolled for this fall (may have to update if he finds out he was lied to). But THIS PERSON I speak of that was in the ONLINE ORIENTATION decided to give them another shot as well (I actually told him to due to the intense schedule that he has now and how they [used to] say they would work with your schedule). This started MONTHS AGO!!!! He was assured that everything was turned in and good to go. He received his document to sign thru right signature. One of the instructors he had been texting said that it looks like everything is good, he's enrolled, and all he needs to do now is get his classes and books. Then, LAST THURSDAY (1/7/16) they emailed Him to tell him that if he didn't get his "final transcript" in from another college, send them a notarized paper, AND send his Mother's W2's to them, then he would have to wait until March (basically doing the EXACT same thing they did a year and a half ago)... They WAIT until 4 days before classes start (2 of which being the weekend). But what is important to note here is: HE has called them MANY MANY MANY TIMES and they NEVER return his call! Last week SARAH promised to call him back and never did!!! Rhonda, Sarah, Eric, and others want to do everything by EMAIL, knowing that some people can't be on a computer and check their email everyday!!! So when he sees the email (FRIDAY EVENING), he finds out that the W2's, notarized paper, and final transcript has to be in by FRIDAY or he couldn't start classes (yes, you read that right... He had 24 hours to get the email, read it, and then get all of these things done.... He had already taken care of the Transcript with the College and actually because CCCB was stupid about things, he had to pay for transcripts TWICE from the college once during the semester that just ended a few weeks ago and then again last week so they could send a final transcript....why would they need both in a matter of weeks? They enjoy Money racketing it seems like and it is evident that they want to hassle). Well classes started today and they will not let him do his classes. Funny thing is, my friend who graduated a year after me did not have any of these problems this person has had... and everything about them was the exact same situation (prior experience, though not much, under 24 so had to have parents info)... They gave my friend much more time before things started AND whatever he didn't have in when it was time to start, they let him go ahead and start anyways!!!!!! (He has emails to prove it too). After the last issue HE had with this COLLEGE, I have a personal EMAIL from a staff member AND a personal message here on FB from another staff member that said they would try to look at these issues and resolve them for future students and said he would be welcome back and they would help him...... MORE LIES!!!!! The reason? Because they can't stand PENTECOSTAL folks. They can't stand the Holy Ghost. Religious discrimination is what it is! And I will NOT delete, take down, or mark private unless they make things RIGHT with this individual! Oh yeah, in closing, the Academic Dean, working hand in hand with Rhonda Dunham, is Eric Stevens. Imagine that!

It is a good school with a great community! The professors are incredible, they are a wealth of knowledge and are eager to share said wealth. Everyone employed by CCCB are Christ-followers working together to better the Kingdom - creating servant leaders for the church.

Amanda

When looking at the different colleges, I wanted somewhere that I knew I could flourish, learn and excel in various levels academically and spiritually. I also wanted somewhere that I could make it feel like home and be a part of a community that would welcome people with open arms. I strongly feel that Central has everything I've been looking for in a college. From everything I've seen first-hand, Central has structured their programs to help set their students up for success and to have a bright future. At Central, they strive to give God the glory and to make leaders to serve and honor His Name. They not only have Christian in the name, but they actually take the steps to make sure it’s a Christian environment, which is another example of how they are preparing their students to become servant leaders of Christ.

  12. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst think about Central is the slight lack of communication between administrators and the board, and the student body. Sometimes big decisions are made, and the students don't find out about it until much later, which can cause unneccesary stress as we try to adjust. It is also difficult for students to make suggestions to the board as to changes or ideas that may improve life on campus.
