The Rio Grande Bible College exists to develop Christ-centered leaders with a biblical world-view for the global church. We provide an affordable accredited undergraduate Bible degree program for Spanish-speaking students. The program costs are significantly reduced and rely greatly on generous donations and donated labor from our staff, volunteers and donors. Our intercultural studies program is for English-speaking students desiring to learn Spanish. We have been privileged to teach appointees from 50 different missionary organizations. They are saturated with the grammar, phonetics, conversation, and culture through classwork, interaction and private tutoring by our Spanish-speaking Bible College students.
