Benefits for students

Students experience several of the same rigorous, integrated degree programs that are offered at the main campus.
There is no need for students to leave their current employment or uproot their families in order to attend Bible college.
Accreditation by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) paves the way for future ministry or additional education.
The B.A. can be earned in four years through year-round seven-week sessions.
Financial aid is available.
With the click of a mouse, students can access the George M. Manuel Library on the main campus along with several full text searchable periodical databases.
Students interact with professors and fellow students through online chats and discussion boards.
Year-round online classes accommodate flexible schedules.
Students can work and serve their local churches while earning a degree.

Benefits for local churches

Home churches become the main support group, prayer team, advisor and ministry placement agent.
Motivated members stay in the community during the training phase and continue to serve in their own church.
Students are influenced by the ministry philosophy and preferences of the home church.
Church leadership is cultivated and ministry is strengthened.
Educated church leaders live in geographically diverse locations rather than a disproportionate number in Bible college towns.

"You cannot imagine what it meant to me to find a school like Piedmont that would allow me to receive training for the ministry without having to leave my responsibilities in my local church. Truly God is good!"
