Alaska Bible College is a private Christian bible college in Palmer, Alaska. It is nationally accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education.[2]
The school was established in 1966 by missionary Vincent James Joy, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute who became a pioneer missionary to the Ahtna people and also founded Central Alaskan Missions (which is now a branch of SEND International).[3] Joy began ABC with a focus on theological education for those preparing for ministry within Alaska.
A primary distinctive of the school is its emphasis on training individuals, including Alaska Natives, for rural ministry in the Far North.
