Franciscan Clarean Bible College

Welcome to Franciscan Clarean Bible College

Welcome to Franciscan Clarean Bible College, the educational ministry of the Order of Franciscan Clareans.

We believe that studying the Bible should be both intellectually engaging and spiritually transformative. Our mission is to equip disciples, ministers, chaplains, and lifelong learners with a deep understanding of Scripture, a compassionate heart for service, and the courage to live the Gospel in today’s world.

Rooted in the Franciscan values of simplicity, humility, peace, and care for creation, our college combines modern biblical scholarship with practical ministry training. We encourage students to ask thoughtful questions, engage Scripture with honesty, and discover how the teachings of Jesus speak to the challenges of our own time.

Whether you are preparing for ordained ministry, serving your local community, seeking personal spiritual growth, or simply longing to understand the Bible more deeply, you have a place here.

Our programs include biblical studies, theology, spiritual formation, pastoral care, chaplaincy, Christian leadership, and Franciscan Clarean spirituality. Every course is designed to help students grow not only in knowledge but also in wisdom, compassion, and faithful service.

At Franciscan Clarean Bible College, education is more than earning a certificate or diploma—it is a journey of transformation. We seek to form leaders who love boldly, think deeply, walk humbly, and serve joyfully.

Wherever you are on your faith journey, we invite you to join our learning community as together we explore Scripture, deepen our relationship with God, and participate in the ongoing work of healing, justice, and hope.

Live Simply. Love Boldly. Study Deeply. Serve Faithfully.
