Association Free Lutheran Bible School and Seminary - Bible School

Bible School

AFLBS is a two year post high school structure. It was established in 1966 by the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. AFLC church founders sought to establish education for young Christians in the Bible before college, in efforts to help believers to "win, build and equip". Currently the enrollment is approximately 120 students. AFLBS students have attended from outside of the United States including Canada, Latvia, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ecuador, Tanzania, Norway, Bolivia and Brazil. The Bible school is a members of the Association of Christian College Athletics (ACCA).

The Bible School has five purposes:

  1. To bring students into and establish them in the assurance of personal salvation in Christ Jesus through the study of God’s Word.
  2. To prepare students to face a secular society in school and community by grounding them in the Word of God.
  3. To help students embrace the truth as found in the Bible, and to reject the theological errors so prevalent today.
  4. To challenge students to seek God’s will in all personal and vocational choices and to pursue the Great Commission of Jesus Christ as given in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.”
  5. To equip students to serve in free and living Lutheran congregations.
