Supporting Member Churches

There are multiple ways for a church, family, or individual to support ACTS Bible College through regular support contribution commitments, and each level of support commitment comes with Supporting Member Church benefits detailed below. Other benefits can be made available and all benefits can be updated, changed, or subject to cancellation by the college in writing through updates, memos, the website, or other means.

Member support level costs and benefits are detailed below by category of membership. Benefits include discounts and free tuition for pastoral staff and members of the supporting churches and/or for the individuals/families at those supporting levels. Membership rates, definitions, levels, and benefits are subject to change at the discretion of the college board and leadership. Current members will always be notified directly of any proposed changes.

The Supporting Member program at ACTS Bible College exists to help network churches that value the careful and meaningful teaching of the Bible and theology and to provide a low-cost way for staff and members of supporting churches and families to attend more classes at ACTS Bible College. We hope this is a blessing to area churches, families, and individuals so that we can make our classes available to as many people as possible.

Please see payment and enrollment information at the bottom of this page.

Supporting Member Enrollment Process

Enrolling as a Supporting Member

The enrollment process for becoming a Supporting Member Church, Family, or Individual involves collecting necessary contact information, signing a commitment to consistently support at the chosen level, and agreeing to the same doctrinal statements that students, faculty, staff, and volunteers must also agree to.

Supporting Member Admission as Students

Enrolling as a Supporting Member does not constitute an application for admission to attend ACTS Bible College as a student. A separate application for admission must be filled out for every student who wishes to attend ACTS Bible College for credit.

Supporting Member Tuition

Supporting Member Free Class Benefits

Because all Supporting Membership levels come with substantial free class benefits, and because ACTS Bible College is an accredited school in the State of Texas, we process payment for free classes as discounts off the tuition price based on membership involvement in the life and work of ACTS Bible College.

Students will register for classes for the semester as normal, but when they receive their tuition account statement the free classes will be discounted the entire cost of the class up to the number of free classes appropriate for their membership level.

Supportin Member Benefits Overview

*The column on class cost signifies how much each class will cost if you take advantage of all the free classes in both the Fall and Spring semesters. In this Supporting Member program, you do no actually pay anything for classes unless you enroll in more classes than what come with your membership level. Even then it would be a significant discount overall.

In the Supporting Member program you simply give the monthly supporting donation that you committed to when you joined, and then the free courses are available to you to register for. The normal registration fee ($50) persists each semester for each student.
