You're called to transform the world.
You carry the calling.
We help form the capacity.

Earn an accredited Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies through Bridges Christian College & Seminary while being formed inside real urban ministry and trained to transform hard places.

Students learn to write grants, raise support, build teams, lead programs, steward resources, and confront life's hardest problems with Gospel conviction — and graduate prepared to lead without student loan debt.

Three Foundations. One Mission.

Called

You arrive with conviction.

You carry a burden to see lives changed, communities restored, and the Gospel made visible in places of need.

Formed

God shapes the leader before the work.

Through accredited biblical training, discipleship, mentoring, community life, and real responsibility, students are formed in character before they are entrusted with greater leadership.

Equipped

You learn to build what the mission requires.

Students are trained in the practical skills to lead urban ministries and nonprofits: fundraising, grant writing, team leadership, program development, stewardship, and sustainable strategy.

Hard places need more than good intentions. Communities in need call for leaders who know Scripture, carry character, understand people, manage resources, build teams, and raise funds. AGORA trains students for that kind of leadership.

Our Conviction

AGORA is a school of action.

Jesus did not form His disciples through theory alone.

He formed them on the road. In the crowd. Under pressure. Through service, failure, accountability, responsibility, and real ministry among real people.

Jason Brooks · Executive Director

The Cost

Built to stay within reach.

One monthly cost covers housing, food, discipleship, real urban ministry, and nonprofit leadership training — for a 10-month school year, August through May. The goal is a debt-free pathway to an accredited degree. (Working model — final figures pending confirmation.)

Pell-Eligible Students

$500/month

$5,000 per school year

Non-Pell Students

$6,000 per school year

add_circleEst. $600/year BCCS tuition — $6,600 total

Pell Grant eligibility depends on the student's FAFSA, financial need, and federal aid rules and is not guaranteed. Some BCCS costs may fall outside the monthly model and should be planned for separately.

A Week in the School

Two days of college. The rest in the field.

Roughly two days of accredited coursework, the rest of the week in AGORA leadership classes and real ministry. (Draft schedule.)
