V.P. Black College of Biblical Studies
The Bible is the heart of the curriculum at Faulkner University, and all courses in the university are taught in the light of the
teaching of the Bible. The Bible is accepted and taught as the inspired, authoritative and all-sufficient
word of God. By precept and example, training for dedicated Christian service is emphasized in and out of
the classroom. The faculty in the College of Biblical Studies underscores the opportunities for trained
Christian servants and the importance of exemplary lives.
The College of Biblical Studies exists to serve the students of the university as a whole. Every student
must take a Bible course within every fifteen hours enrolled. As a result, even students who are not
Bible majors must take Bible courses while enrolled at Faulkner University, and approximately 2,700 students are taught God's Word each
semester.
In addition to Eastern Meadows' monthly support of the College of Biblical Studies, our ministers
participate yearly in the Preachers Challenge fundraiser. Preachers that accept the challenge are encouraged to
donate or raise at least $1,000 to the College, where the donations are used to assist in Bible instruction for
all students. Since its initiation in 1993, the Preachers Challenge has raised over $1,000,000 and continues to
be a substantial means of support for the College.
