History

EBC was founded by Francis Chan as a ministry of Cornerstone Community Church.[4] In 2001, Cornerstone launched a Bible Institute to better equip its members for ministry. In 2003, they resolved to turn this into a college. Over the course of the next year, Cornerstone gathered personnel and resources, and launched the college in 2004 with a class of 100 students.

The faculty consists of pastors serving in local churches in the greater Los Angeles area.

The college offers a Bachelor of Biblical Studies and a Certificate of Biblical Studies.[5] The emphasis of these programs is on studying the Bible for the purpose of applying biblical principles to all areas of life and ministry.[6]

As of May 2016, EBC has graduated over 200 students. Its graduates are currently serving as missionaries (in Israel, France, India, Hungary, and Iraq), pastors, youth pastors, are pursuing seminary-level education, or have joined the workforce in a variety of capacities.
