ABC has a Payment Plan

Although bills are due in full at the start of each semester, a payment plan is available. A down payment of $2000 ($1250 for non-dorm students) is required at the beginning of each semester, the remainder may be paid over a 3-month period. Completed and approved financial aid can be applied toward the down-payment.

You have a responsibility

Personal savings, sale of assets, summer employment/ministries, campus and local jobs should provide major resources in paying your school bill. Having a strong work ethic and being a good financial steward are necessary prerequisites to serving God and making tuition payments.

You have Contacts

Often churches, friends, employers, parent, grandparents, and other relatives are willing to help you with college costs once they realize you are serious about serving God and preparing for ministry.

We have a Great God

Remember, "When He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them..." and "Faithful is He that calleth you, who will also do it." The God who has a special plan for you, also has a unique plan designed to finance your preparation for His service.
