Indiana Bible College

Indiana Bible College (IBC) is a Bible college endorsed by the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI).

Overview
Founded in 1981 by Rev. Dennis Croucher of Seymour, Indiana, United States, it relocated to Indianapolis in 1988 under Pastor Paul Mooney and Calvary Tabernacle of Indianapolis, Indiana.

The campus is at the former University Heights Hospital at 1502 East Sumner Avenue site, 1 km from University Heights.

Academics
Indiana Bible College (IBC) focuses on preparing students for careers in professional ministry. The college offers Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts programs in Biblical Studies, Worship Studies, and Missiology with academic minors in religious education, missiology, social science, theology, communications and media, and worship studies, youth ministries, and urban ministries. IBC provides leadership across the United Pentecostal Church International, both in music and theology. It also offers on-site courses, night classes, a large External Studies program, and Spanish course offerings at the main campus.

While none of the degrees that are offered have been accredited by any higher accreditation agencies, IBC credits routinely transfer to institutions of higher learning, and several students have used IBC degrees to obtain accredited master's degrees and Doctorates from around the country in various fields. (e.g., Urshan Graduate School of Theology, the accredited seminary of the UPCI, accepts degrees from IBC because their accrediting agency considers IBC equivalent to an accredited institution.)

Campus Life
The Worship Studies Department has several groups that travel extensively ministering throughout the US, including IBC PRAISE and IBC Chosen.

‘’Perspectives Magazine’’ is the official magazine of IBC. It has a readership of about 20,000 per issue, making it the largest circulated Apostolic Pentecostal periodical in the US.
