The South Pacific Association of Bible Colleges (SPABC) is an association of independent evangelical Bible Colleges. It was formed in 1969. Colleges are located in Australia (all states plus the Australian Capital Territory), Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and New Zealand.
Membership "requires agreement with the Association’s evangelical position with regard to God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and the Bible", and is conditional on meeting standards relating to:
- "Stability of operation.
- Leadership and administration.
- Financial responsibility.
- Number and qualifications of full-time faculty.
- Relationship to the Christian community at large.
- Resources — human and physical - supporting the programs.
- Attention to Christian character development in students."
Member colleges are regularly reassessed to assure that the standards are maintained.

“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“So far as the colleges go, the sideshows are swallowing up the circus.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
