History

KLBC was founded as Kawartha Lakes Bible School in 1973, which offered night classes in intensive biblical studies. In 1977 KLBS began operating as a full-time day school located at Edmison Heights Bible Chapel. Beginning in 1994 a second year program was started.[2] September 2001, KLBC opened the doors to the current 12.5 acre campus.[3]

KLBC has since closed. Emmaus Bible College has undertaken the responsibility of hosting the academic records and transcripts for Kawartha Lakes Bible College.[4]

Academics

KLBC offered a One year (Diploma of Biblical Studies) and a Two year (Diploma of Advanced Biblical Studies) program. Each of these years students receive approximately 550 hours of Bible training.[5]

Kawartha Lakes Bible College was not an accredited degree granting school, but it was recognized as an educational institution by the Government of Canada.[7] Students were able to apply for Government financial assistance.(Ontario Student Assistance Program)[8]
