What study program models qualify for ACTS funds?
Education is changing. While on-site residential, traditional programs are still viable, many new forms of education are available to students. Examples include various forms of online learning, geographical and virtual cohorts, church-based training, internships, etc. ACTS funds are available to all these models of training, as long as the course of study is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and Spirit-empowered.

ACTS Scholarship Fund
Let’s celebrate the 100th anniversary of our Open Bible Colleges Bible Education
BSTS – BSC – EBC – NHCC
We are now approaching the 100-year mark of ministry training! In January, 2025, the centennial benchmark will be achieved.
How better could we celebrate our Centennial than to create a significant, endowed scholarship fund for the training and equipping of men and women for Christ-centered, Word-based, Spirit-empowered ministry. Read More…
Pacific Open Bible serves as custodian of a new endowment fund called “ACTS.” The acronym stands for Alumni Centennial Trust Scholarships.
Hear about the founding of the ACTS Scholarship Fund from Former Open Bible President Jeff Farmer
God is doing something special! We have raised the initial $100,000. We prayed to reach $200,000 before January of 2025, and we have now hit that by June 2024. We are now looking for additional charter donors ($5,000) and beyond that, the committee is praying for a host of Silver ($1,000), Gold ($2,500) and Platinum ($3,750) donors to increase the endowed principal to $250,000 by the January 2025 anniversary date. Would you help us?
The final words of Jesus in Matthew’s gospel were “Go…make disciples.” As Christians we are charged with the majestic task of making certain the gospel is preached from generation to generation.
Not everyone is called to be an evangelist, pastor or missionary, but all Christians are called to make disciples. One of the best ways to do that is giving to an endowed scholarship fund to assist men and women in need who are called to vocational ministry.
