Faith BCI is located in central Maine, surrounded by trees and rolling hills, and is not too far from almost everything:  beaches, shopping, mountains, lakes, the ocean.  We experience all 4 seasons, which allows opportunities for boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and fun in the sun during the warmer late summer months; campfires, hiking, moose watching, and the change in foliage in the fall; snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, tubing, and playing in the snow during the winter months; four-wheeling, mudding, and baseball in the spring.  Bangor is just 30 minutes from us, where you can find the Bangor Mall and other stores, movie theaters, restaurants, concerts, sporting events and much, much more!

With your Bachelor’s in Theological Studies, you can go right out into the ministry as a pastor, youth pastor, worship leader, missionary, Christian educator, or evangelist.  Or you can transfer your credits to further your education.

Faith offers an Associate Degree in Theological Studies or a Bachelor’s Degree in Theological Studies.  Students can choose a minor in Pastoral Theology, Missions, Christian Education or Music.  See more on our cornerstone program or degree programs.

Faith currently has one dormitory building, Tracy Hall, with a floor for the ladies and a floor for the men.  The rooms in the dormitory are spacious and shared with one roommate.  They are furnished with 2 closets, a window (some have 2 windows), 2 dressers, 2 desks, 2 bookshelves, a single bed and a set of single bunk beds.  Each dormitory has a lounge with couches and a television; a kitchen area with refrigerators, microwaves, sinks, and eating space; laundry facilities and spacious bathrooms.  We also have limited space in the dormitory, on the first floor, for married couples.

Since we are not accredited through the government we cannot offer financial aid, but we do have limited scholarship opportunities for students unable to meet their financial obligations.  In the second and further years, there are opportunities for Work-Study, where students can be employed on campus.  We are currently in the process of working with an outside company regarding financing in the near future.

At Faith BCI our goal is to keep the cost as low as possible.  A student can attend Faith for under $7,000 a year.

Cost breakdown:  Registration Fees – $225 (per semester), Tuition Fees – $1,250 (per semester), Dormitory Fees – $1,500 (per semester), Dues – $50 (per semester), Student Fees – $125 (yearly), Room Key Deposit – $200 (yearly).

Additional costs for books, laundry, and day-to-day living are not included.

Faith is a smaller, more intimate student body size of 60-70.  This provides great opportunity for students to really get to know one another.  Currently we have about 26 staff and faculty, putting the student to staff ratio at about 3:1.  Staff and faculty are also able to connect with the students and develop lasting relationships, with great opportunity to impart more personally into each life.

No.  Meals are included in what the student receives as part of dormitory living.  If they do not like what is being offered, there is a reasonably priced “Snack Bar” available on campus.

We at Faith work hard to see that all of our students are comfortable, happy, and have their needs met on a physical, spiritual and emotional level.

Yes.  We have security at Faith, as the safety of our students is very important to us.  We make sure each student is where they are supposed to be every night through our Resident Assistants.

At Faith, we have a series of staff and faculty members students can see if an issue arises.  There are mentors that work closely with small groups of students here on Campus, Deans for men and women, Resident Assistants, a dean of academics, a director of student life, and a director of the facilities.  The safety and well-being of all our students is very important to us here at Faith.

Yes.  We do our best to accommodate those students who hold off Campus jobs.

At Faith, our desire is to see students grow in the Lord and the plan He has for their lives.  We do not expect perfection, but rather look to teach the importance of modesty, pure actions, respect for authority, self and others, and the necessity of a daily, devoted relationship with God.

We at Faith believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.  We allow Him to move and operate in our Chapels weekly.  The Lord uses President Ward and other anointed speakers to minister to our students and staff on very pertinent and relevant topics.  Our worship in Chapels is truly dynamic!  We have a tremendous music team, consisting of leaders Paul and Heather Rogers, and various gifted students with the desire to be involved in the music ministry.

We have a variety of discounts available to our students:  we offer discounts to children of Alumni, and children of active ministers. These discounts are by request and simple evaluation.

Yes. We are approved to enroll international students in our three-year Diploma in Theological Studies.

Our student body has always been comprised of about 20% or greater foreign students (Canadian & Others).  There are a few extra steps in the application process to get international students here and minimal additional fees.  The admissions team gladly works with our international applicants through this process.  It brings us great joy to see students from every nation gathering together with a common purpose of worshipping and serving the Lord God Almighty.
